NPV = Present value of cash inflows - present value of cash outflows
a)
Market immediately:
Present value = 0.6*19,100,000 + 0.4*6,100,000
Present value = 11,460,000 + 2,440,000
Present value = $13,900,000.00
Research option:
Present value = -1,210,000 + [0.75*19,100,000 + 0.25*6,100,000] / (1 + 0.14)
Present value = -1,210,000 + [14,325,000 + 1,525,000] / 1.14
Present value = -1,210,000 + 13,903,508.77
Present value = $12,693,508.77
