SSC is considering another project: the introduction of a "weight loss" smoothie. The project would require a $3.6 million investment outlay today (t = 0). The after-tax cash flows would depend on whether the weight loss smoothie is well received by consumers. There is a 40% chance that demand will be good, in which case the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2.2 million at the end of each of the next 3 years. There is a 60% chance that demand will be poor, in which case the after-tax cash flows will be $0.52 million for 3 years. The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 11%. The firm will know if the project is successful after receiving the cash flows the first year, and after receiving the first year's cash flows it will have the option to abandon the project. If the firm decides to abandon the project the company will not receive any cash flows after t = 1, but it will be able to sell the assets related to the project for $2.8 million after taxes at t = 1. Assuming the company has an option to abandon the project, what is the expected NPV of the project today? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Use the values in "millions of dollars" to ascertain the answer. $ millions of dollars
note:
Lay out cash flows on a timeline.
Include the probability if demand is good with the applicable cash flows as one branch.
Include the probability if demand is bad with the applicable cash flows as the second branch.
Calculate the NPV of each branch, weight the NPVs and sum the weighted NPVs.
Lay out cash flows on a timeline for the abandonment option.
Calculate the NPV of each branch, weight the NPVs and sum the weighted NPVs.
The higher positive NPV is the choice that should be accepted.
