Answer:
1. Calculate the NPV for the following:
2. The best decision to help Expando is:________
Since the NPV of building the small facility is higher than the NPV of building the larger facility or doing nothing, they should build the small facility.
Explanation:
the expected present value of revenue generated by small plant = (0.70 x $10 million) + (0.30 x $12 million) = $7 + $3.6 = $10.6 million
the expected present value of revenue generated by large plant = (0.70 x $12 million) + (0.30 x $16 million) = $8.4 $4.8 = $13.2 million
small plant's NPV = $10.6 - $8 = $2.6 million
large plant's NPV = $13.2 - $11 = $2.2 million
NPV of doing nothing = $0 - $0 = $0
