(Note that the expected annual cash flows will be: [0.5 * $300] + [0.5 * $100] = $200/year, as stated above.) Unfortunately, you will not know which state of the world you will be in until you spend the $1000 and start the business; in year 1, after the business opens, you will find out. Obviously, if you open for business and business is good, you will want to stay open for the entire 10 years; if your cost of capital…
