QUESTION 1 Mixtastic's Founder-CEO is discussing the timing of the launch of its mix-at-home cocktail kit with potential investors. "With a big push and a full-time commitment from myself, we could roll out the subscriptions right away and make $100K in profit per year. Or, if I run the business part-time as a side project, we could start selling three years from now." Assuming Mixtastic has an 80% chance of survival each year, how much would it be worth to start earning profit immediately, rather than in three years? It's worth $80K more if it launches immediately. It's worth $244K more if it launches immediately. It's worth $376K more if it launches immediately. It's worth $1 million more if it launches immediately.
