Kristina has a new shoe project which requires an investment of $12 million over one year after which there is a 25% chance of aborting at zero extra cost and an 75% chance of further development over three years at a cost of a further $25 million. At this point you estimate a 50% chance of making net profit of $90 million, a 40% change of making a net profit of $60 million and a 10% chance of making only $20 million. Your discount rate is 6%. Create a decision tree that illustrates these choices and calculate the NPV given the assumptions in the question. Should you go ahead?
