It is January 1 of year 0, and Merck is trying to determine whether to continue development of a newdrug. The following information is relevant. You can assume that all cash flows occur at the ends of therespective years.■ Clinical trials (the trials where the drug is tested on humans) are equally likely to be completed in year1 or 2.■ There is an 80% chance that clinical trials will succeed. If these trials fail, the FDA will not allow thedrug to be marketed.■ The cost of clinical trials is assumed to follow a triangular distribution with best case $100 million,most likely case $150 million, and worst case $250 million.
