There are 2 possible scenarios for net cash flows in years 1 and 2: 1) $1010 per year, with 50% probability; or 2) $0 per year, with 50% probability. The cost of capital is 8%. If the firm waits 1 year to make a decision about the project, the uncertainty about the worst-case outcome will be resolved (i.e. the firm will know whether the best case or worst case outcome will occur for the next two years).
