Solution:

(a)   

Valuation of Restaurant Option
Particular Probability 1 Probability 2 Amount ($)
Cash Outflow        5,700,000.00
Cash Inflow                760,000.00                        240,000.00
Expected Rate (Perpetuity) 12%                             0.12                                     0.12
Discounted Cash Infow            6,333,333.33                    2,000,000.00
Probability                             0.50                                     0.50
Expected Discounted Cash Inflow            3,166,666.67                    1,000,000.00        4,166,666.67
NPV of Restaurant        1,533,333.33

NPV of restauarant is $1,533,333.33

(b) Normally Real Options are considered when we have either Expansion plan or Entering a new area of operations. But in this situation, this is the first time the restaurant is starting. So, according to me there is no need to consider real options here.

(c) This Project has Positive NPV of  $1,533,333.33. So, this project is worthy.
