Assume all cash flows occur at the end of each period.
a. What are the yearly cash flows and their present value (discounted at 10 percent) of this project? What is the net present value? Note: Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Perform all calculations using Excel. Do not round any intermediate calculations. Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.

b. Perot's engineers have determined that spending $10 million more on development will allow them to add even more advanced features. Having a more advanced chip will allow them to price the chip $50 higher in both years ( $870 for year 1 and $700 for year 2). What is the NPV of the project if this option is implemented?

Net present value
c. If sales are only 228,000 the first year and 114,000 the second year, what would the NPV of the project be? Assume the development costs and sales price are as originally estimated.
Note: Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Perform all calculations using Excel. Do not round any intermediate calculations. Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.Perot Corporation is developing a new CPU chip based on a new type of technology. Its new chip, the Patay2 chip, will take two years to develop. However, because other chip manufacturers will be able to copy the technology, it will have a market life of two years after it is introduced. Perot expects to be able to price the chip higher in the first year, and it anticipates a significant production cost reduction after the first year. The relevant information for developing and selling the Patay2 is given as follows:
