Assume that the present value of the project is $11.5 million at year 0 if Technology A is used.
a) The Present Value of the project is calculated as:
= Net cash flows during the period/(1+risk free rate of return)
So from the above example,
For Buoyant demand =18/1.07=$16.82
For Sluggish demand = 8/1.17=$6.3
b) In the second case, the present value will be calculated as:
For Buoyant demand =(18-10)/1.07 =$7.47
ForSluggish demand = (8-10)/1.07 = $(1.86)
