See the answer A local movie studio wants to determine which of two new scripts they should select for their next major production. The manager feels that script #1 has a 70% chance of earning Php100 million over the long run, but a 30% chance of losing Php20 million. If this movie is successful, then a sequel could also be produced, with an 80% chance of earning Php50 million, but a 20% chance of losing Php10 million. On the other hand, she feels that script #2 has a 60 % chance of earning Php120 million, but a 40% chance of losing Php30 million. If successful, its sequel would have a 50% chance of earning $80 million and a 50% chance of losing Php40 million. As with the first script, if the original movie is a "flop," then no sequel would be produced. What is the expected payoff from selecting script #2?

Bruno has a capital investment project that could start immediately. The project will require a machine costing $2.4 million. The total discounted value now of the cash inflows from the project will be either $2.6 million or $1.9 million with equal probability. The risk-free rate is 3%. Instead of starting immediately, the project could be delayed until one year from now to gain more market information. Its total discounted cash inflows at that time will be known as either $2.6 million or $1.9 million, with certainty. a) What is the present value of the option to delay? b) The supplier of the machine has offered to deliver it (if required) in one year's time at a price of only $2 million if Bruno pays a non-refundable deposit now. What is the maximum the firm should pay as a deposit now? What type of real option does this represent for Bruno? Identify the specific components of the option contract.
