We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 5,400 unitsper year at $68 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. Inother words, the annual cash flow is projected to be $68 × 5,400 =$367,200. The relevant discount rate is 18 percent, and the initialinvestment required is $1,530,000. After the first year, theproject can be dismantled and sold for $1,250,000. Suppose youthink it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to8,400 units if the first year is a success and revised downward to4,000 units if the first year is not a success.a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV ofthe project?
