Since these projects last for a long period of time, they are exposed to various risks. The successful delivery of BOT projects implies that these risks are efficiently mitigated. In order to alleviate project risks, the public partner may offer the private partner the possibility of abandoning the project and transferring it back to the public sector for a specific pre-determined price. In one such project, the public partner offers the private partner the possibility of abandoning the project within 4 years for the salvage value of $80 million. Use one of the binomial option pricing technique to value this option? Assume that the present value of future cash flows from the toll road investment is $100 million and it can go up or down once a year. The volatility is 30% per annum. The risk-free rate is 5%.arrow_forwardMartin Weir is evaluating a new project to determine viability for Jonathon's Restaurant's. As part of the new Jonathon's PMO, Marty is responsible for preparing project justifications and he must evaluate the project's cash flows and investment potential. As a first step, Marty developed a table of revenues and investments (see below) that he plans to use in calculating a variety of performance metrics including NPV. Marty understands that a project's discount rate may not be constant throughout the life of the project and he plans to use 0.32 as the initial discount rate, switching to 0.19 beginning in year 4 to more accurately represent the cash costs and imputed risk over time. Assume all cash flows occur at the end of the specified year and calculate all cash flow values and discounted cash flow values to three decimal places. Round discounted values to 3 decimal places before performing subsequent calculations. investment Reveune 13.8 0 14.9 20.3 12.3 27.5 17.6 24.9…arrow_forward
