    Hello Mr John
    Thank you for the great support
    The following question from June 2018 Question 32 (a) (ii)

    (ii) Calculate the probability of the investment having a negative NPV; (1 mark)
    (ii) Negative NPV probability 24% Sum of joint probabilities with negative NPVs

    How did we reach to 24%?

    many thanks

    If you look at the various possible combinations that result in a negative NPV, you will find there are three of them.

    (1013) which has a probability of 0.03
    (216) which has a probability of 0.06
    and, (120) which has a probability of 0.15
    (all the other combinations end up with a positive NPV).

    So the probability of ending up with a negative NPV is 0.03 + 0.06 + 0.15 = 0.24 (or 24%)
