Illustrating an investment
timing option If we proceed with Project L, its annual cash
flows are $33,500, and its NPV is $6,190.
However, if we wait one year, we will find out
some additional information regarding outputprices and the cash flows from Project L.
If we wait, the up-front cost will remain at$100,000 and there is a 50% chance thesubsequent CFs will be $43,500 a year, and a
50% chance the subsequent CFs will be $23,500a year.

Investment timing decision
tree
At k = 10%, the NPV at t = 1 is: $37,889, if CFs are $43,500 per year, or
-$25,508, if CFs are $23,500 per year, inwhich case the firm would not proceed withthe project.

Should we wait or
proceed? If we proceed today, NPV = $6,190.
If we wait one year, Expected NPV
at t = 1 is 0.5($37,889) + 0.5(0) =$18,944.57, which is worth$18,944.57 / (1.10) = $17,222.34 intodays dollars (assuming a 10%
discount rate).Therefore, it makes sense to wait.

Issues to consider with
investment timing options Whats the appropriate discount rate?
Note that increased volatility makes the
option to delay more attractive. If instead, there was a 50% chance the
subsequent CFs will be $53,500 a year,and a 50% chance the subsequent CFs
will be $13,500 a year, expected NPVnext year (if we delay) would be:
0.5($69,588) + 0.5(0) = $34,794 >$18,944.57

Factors to consider when
deciding when to invest Delaying the project means that cash
flows come later rather than sooner.
It might make sense to proceed todayif there are important advantages tobeing the first competitor to enter amarket.
Waiting may allow you to takeadvantage of changing conditions.

Abandonment/shutdown

Abandonment option Project Ys A-T net cash flows
depend critically upon customer
acceptance of the product.There is a 60% probability that
the product will be wildlysuccessful and produce A-T netCFs of $150,000, and a 40%chance it will produce annual A-Tnet CFs of -$25,000.

NPV is -$262,171.30. E(NPV) = 0.6(173,027.8) + 0.4(-262,171.3)

Issues with abandonment
optionsThe company does not have the
option to delay the project.
The company may abandon theproject after a year, if the customerhas not adopted the product.
If the project is abandoned, there will
be no operating costs incurred norcash inflows received after the firstyear.

Is it reasonable to assume thatthe abandonment option does not
affect the cost of capital? No, it is not reasonable to
assume that the abandonment
option has no effect on thecost of capital.
The abandonment option
reduces risk, and thereforereduces the cost of capital.

Growth option
Project Z has an initial up-front cost of$500,000.
The project is expected to produce A-T cash
inflows of $100,000 at the end of each of thenext five years. Since the project carries a 12%cost of capital, it clearly has a negative NPV.
There is a 10% chance the project will lead tosubsequent opportunities that have an NPV of$3,000,000 at t = 5, and a 90% chance of anNPV of -$1,000,000 at t = 5.

NPV with the growthoption
If it turns out that the project has futureopportunities with a negative NPV, thecompany would choose not to pursue them.
Therefore, the NPV of the bottom branchshould include only the -$500,000 initialoutlay and the $100,000 annual cash flows,which lead to an NPV of -$139,522.38.
Thus, the expected value of this projectshould be:
NPV = 0.1($1,562,758) + 0.9(-$139,522)
= $30,706.
