At stage 2 (1 year from now) of the decision tree, it shows that if a project is successful, the payoff will be $51247 with a 60% chance of occurrence. If unsuccessful, the payoff is $-21000. The cost of getting to stage 2 is $43577. The cost of capital is 15%. What is the NPV of the project at stage 1 (year 0)?
probability of cash inflow= p.v at success ful + p.v. un successful
=$51247*0.6*(1/1+0.15)1+ $21000*0.4*(1/1+0.15)1
=$26737+$7304
=$34042
NPV = P.V OF CASH INFLOW - P.V OF CASH OUT FLOW
=$34042-$43577
=(-VE)$9535
AS NPV IS NEGITIVE WE WILL NOT ACCEPT
