Question
Guy Fieri has purchased a significant plot of land in Northwest Ohio for his newest venture: FlavorTownship. This hub for mind-boggling flavor and entertainment
is a strictly for-profit operation. Guy would like to keep Flavor Township open all year-round, but due to Ohio weather the following are the probabilities of when it
will be open:
|- 30% chance it is open 300 days a year
|- 55% chance it is open 325 days a year
|- 15% chance it is open 350 days a year
Flavor Township will expect to host 14,000 people each day that it is open and expects an average revenue of $45 per visitor. This paradigm-shifting landmark will
cost $420,000,000 to start the investment and will require annual costs (food, employees, etc.) of $115,000,000. Every 3 years, Flavor Township will undergo
necessary maintenance that will cost $22,000,000. If the expected life of Flavor Township is 15 years and a 16% return is expected, what is the expected NPV of
this project?
