    The qs states that mmc will spend $7m at the start of the next 2 yrs.
    Does it mean yr1 and yr2(i think it should be this one)
    Or yr0 and yr1?

    Thanks in advance Sir

    Time 0 and time 1

    (Next year starts now – time 0.
    The second year starts in 1 years time – time 1)

    For discounting we are not looking at whole years – we are looking at moments in time. The whole point of discounting is to account for the interest in yearly periods.

    Time 1 is one year from now, time 2 is 2 years from now, and so on.

    So next year starts now (time 0). Next year finishes one year from now (time 1).

    The second year starts one year from now (time 1). The second year finishes 2 years from now (time 2).

    And so on…

    Because it is in 2 years time that we have the option as to whether to invest more or not. The 7M in each of the first two years will have been spent regardless of whether or not we exercise our option.
