derive these calculations :
Consider Alternatives x
Now we will first find out the Expected cash flow at each year 4, 5 & 6
For e.g at Year 4, Expected Cash Flow = Probability x Cash Flow = 0.7 * 50000 + 0.3 * 40000 = $47,000
Similarly calculate Cash flow at Year 5 and Year 6. Year 5 = 0.7 * 50000 + 0.3 * 30000 = $ 44,000
Now next step is to discount this Cash Flow at year 4,5 & 6 to the time we have to consider the
alternative i.e Year 3. This net cash flow is then substracted from the investment at Year 3 which would
result in Expected NPV
Expected NPV of Alternative x = -200,000 + 47,000 / (1.15^1) + 44,000 / (1.15^2) + 41,000 / (1.15^3)
= $ -98,902
Similarly,
Expected NPV of Alternative y = -75,000 + 30,000 / (1.15^1) + 34,500 / (1.15^2) + 39,000 / (1.15^3)
= $ 2,817
