Dressler Technologies is considering a project with a 3-year life and an initial cost of $87,000. The discount rate for the project is 14.5 percent. The firm expects to sell 1,300 units on the last day of each year. The cash flow per unit is $32. The firm will have the option to abandon this project at the end two years (after year 2 sales) at which time the project's assets could be sold for an estimated $30,000. The firm's managers are interested in knowing how the project will perform if the sales forecast for year 3 of the project is revised such that there is a 50/50 chance that the sales will be either 1,000 or 1,400 units a year. What is the net present value of this project at time zero given the current sales forecasts?
