What is the value of the option to abandon


Problem

We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 6,000 units per year at $74 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $74 × 6,000 = $444,000. The relevant discount rate is 18 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,710,000. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,540,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,000 units if the first year is a success and revised downward to 4,600 units if the first year is not a success.

1. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering.
2. What is the value of the option to abandon?
