The Karns Oil Company is deciding whether to drill for oil on a tract of land that the company owns. The company estimates the project would cost $8 million today. Karns estimates that, once drilled, the oil will generate positive net cash flows of $4 million a year at the end of each of the next 4 years. Although the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, in 2 years it will have more information about the local geology and about the price of oil. Karns estimates that if it waits 2 years then the project would cost $9 million. Moreover, if it waits 2 years, then there is a 90% chance that the net cash flows would be $4.2 million a year for 4 years and a 10% chance that they would be $2.2 million a year for 4 years. Assume all cash flows are discounted at 10%. Use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of the option. Assume the variance of the project's rate of return is 0.632 and that the risk-free rate is 5%. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your…

- Pilipinas-Shell, Inc. is contemplating whether to drill for oil source on a tract of land that the company had purchased 10 years ago. The investment required for this project is PhP450.0 million. If the project is pursued, it is expected to bring in cash flows of PhP215.0 million annually for the next four years. With the limited market information available to support the financial forecast, the firm is considering of waiting 2 years before implementing the project until more reliable geology information as well as oil prices be made available.
