    A UK based company is considering an investment of GB£1,00,0000 in a project in the USA it is
    anticipated that the following cash flows will arise from this project.
    The cash flows will be either USD 4,00,000 with a probability of 40% or USD 7,00,000 with a
    with a probability of 60% for each of the next three years remitted to the UK at the end of each year
    GB £5,54,047

    The CEO of HJ wishes to evaluate an investment using the certainty equivalent basis. The project involves
    an initial outflow of D$2m, There will be a single inflow in exactly one year after which the project will be
    concluded.
    The CEO believes that the expected value of the inflow from this project is D$5m. He believe that the most
    likely inflow will be D$4.2m. He would be prepared to accept a guranteed sum of D$3.5m as an alternative
    The cost of capital for this project is 8% and the risk-free rate is 3%. The one year discount factors for
    those rates are 0.926 and 0.971 respectively
    What is the net present value of this project on the certainly equivalent basis ?

    I don’t answer whole questions like this. If there is a specific part of your model answer you don’t understand, I will try to help, but we do not operate an answer factory.
