Question
![You are planning to produce a new action
figure called "Nia." However, you are very
uncertain about the demand for the product.
If it is a hit, you will have net cash flows of
$80 million per year for three years (starting
next year [i.e., at t = 1]). If it fails, you will only
have net cash flows of $40 million per year
for two years (also starting next year). There
is an equal chance that it will be a hit or
failure (probability = 50 percent). You will not
know whether it is a hit or a failure until the
first year's cash flows are in (i.e., at t = 1). You
must spend $140 million immediately for
equipment and the rights to produce the
figure. If you can sell your equipment for $90
million once the first year's cash flows are
received, calculate the value of the
abandonment option. (The discount rate is
10 percent.)
