Chapter 11, Problem 17SP

(Real options and capital budgeting) Go-Power Batteries has developed a high-voltage nickel–metal hydride battery that can be used to power a hybrid automobile. It can sell the technology immediately to Toyota for $10 million, or alternatively, Go-Power Batteries can invest $50 million in a plant and produce the batteries for itself and sell them. Unfortunately, given the current size of the market for hybrids, the present value of the cash flows from such a plant would be only $40 million, implying that the plant has a negative expected NPV of –$10 million. What are the real options that are being ignored in this analysis? Can you come up with a compelling reason why Go-Power should keep the technology rather than sell it to Toyota?

Sonja Jensen is considering the purchase of a fast-food franchise. Sonja will be operating on a lot that is to be converted into a parking lot in six years, but that may be rented in the interim for $700 per month. The franchise and necessary equipment will have a total initial cost of $68,000 and a salvage value of $9,000 (in today's dollars) after six years. Sonja is told that the future annual general inflation rate will be 5%. The projected operating revenues and expenses (in actual dollars) other than rent and depreciation for the business are given in the table below. Assume that the initial investment will be depreciated under the five-year MACRS and that Sonja's tax rate will be 30%.
