The staff of Porter Manufacturing has estimated the following net after tax cash flows and probabilities for a new manufacturing process:
Net After Tax Cash Flows
| Year | P _ 0.2 | P _ 0.6 | P _ 0.2 |
| 0 | ($100,000) | ($100,000) | ($100,000) |
| 1 | 20,000 | 30,000 | 40,000 |
| 22 | 0,000 | 30,000 | 40,000 |
| 3 | 20,000 | 30,000 | 40,000 |
| 4 | 20,000 | 30,000 | 40,000 |
| 5 | 20,000 | 30,000 | 40,000 |
| 5* | 0 | 20,000 | 30,000 |
Line 0 gives the cost of the process, Lines 1 through 5 give operating cash flows, and Line 5* contains the estimated salvage values. Porter”s cost of capital for an average risk project is 10 percent.
a. Assume that the project has average risk. Find the project”s expected NPV. (Hint: Use expected values for the net cash flow in each year.)
b. Find the best case and worst case NPVs. What is the probability of occurrence of the worst case if the cash flows are perfectly dependent (perfectly positively correlated) over time? If they are independent over time?
c. Assume that all the cash flows are perfectly positively correlated, that is, there are only three possible cash flow streams over time: (1) the worst case, (2) the most likely, or base, case, and (3) the best case, with probabilities of 0.2, 0.6, and 0.2, respectively. These cases are represented by each of the columns in the table. Find the expected NPV, its standard deviation, and its coefficient of variation.
