Demand for your product has been high and you are looking at the following two alternative plans: Plan I: Spend $94 million today on a factory in Bhaluka, Mymensingh that will be completed in 1 year. You expect to receive $40 million in profits from this factory at the end of the second year, at which time you also expect to sell the factory to Sharp Corporation, a Japanese competitor, for a further $70 million. Plan II: Spend $120 million today in a joint venture with Jamuna Electronics. You expect to begin generating yearly profits of $13.5 million at the end of the first year and every year thereafter. You expect the joint venture to last forever. The market interest you could achieve from IDLC Finance if you do not invest in any of the two is 8.5%. Which of the above plans would you undertake if you could undertake just one. Explain this scenario with proper…
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.
