Chapter 23, Problem 6QP
Real Options Sardano and Sons is a large, publicly held company that is considering leasing a warehouse. One of the company's divisions specializes in manufacturing steel, and this particular warehouse is the only facility in the area that suits the firm’s operations. The current price of stock is $690 per ton. If the price of steel falls over the next six months, the company will purchase 500 tons of steel and produce 55,000 steel rods. Each steel rod will cost $18 to manufacture, and the company plans to sell the rods for $29 each. It will take only a matter of days to produce and sell the steel rods. If the price of steel rises or remains the same, it will not be profitable to undertake the project, and the company will allow the lease to expire without producing any steel rods.

EAL OPTIONS Boisjoly Enterprises is considering buying a vacant lot that sells for
$1.4 million. If the property is purchased, the company's plan is to spend another $6 million today (t = 0) to build a hotel on the property. The cash flows from the hotel will depend critically on whether the state imposes a tourism tax in this year's legislative session. If the tax is imposed the hotel is expected to produce cash flows of $500,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years. If the tax is not imposed, the hotel is expected to produce cash flows of $1,200,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years. The project has a 12% WACC. Assume at the outset that the company does not have the option to delay the project.
a. What is the project's expected NPV if the tax is imposed?
