An auto plant that costs $130 million to build can produce a line of flexfuel cars that will produce cash flows with a present value of $190 million if the line is successful but only $50 million if it is unsuccessful. You believe that the probability of success is only about 50%. You will learn whether the line is successful immediately after building the plant.
a-1. Calculate the expected NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place.)
a-2. Would you build the plant?
Suppose that the plant can be sold for $125 million to another automaker if the auto line is not successful. (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place.)
b-1. Calculate the expected NPV.
b-2. Would you build the plant?
a-1. Expected NPV ____________ million
a-2. Would you build the plant? _____________
b-1. Expected NPV _____________million
b-2 Would you build the plant?______________
