    Sir,

    In this question i have calculated NPV (without option) after including $12m into total investment as it is part of project cost and this gave me npv of $0.76m.

    Value of option after including $12m in P(e)= exercise price and Using Black and scholes model i got C= $9.40m

    Here i want to know whether my way calculation is correct or not because examiner result are different from my result as examiner didn’t include $12m in NPV Calculation (without option) and Value of call option calculation (with option) ????

    Where are you finding this question?

    I am asking because in the original exam question there is no $12M anywhere!!

    They spend $7M at the start of the next 2 years to develop the game, and then spend $35M at the start of the 4 year sales period (although it is this that they have the option on).

    Sir you are right, in original exam question it was said that “MMC spend $7M at the start of the next 2 years to develop the game, and then spend $35M at the start of the 4 year sales period”

    But in kaplan kit it was said that, “MMC will spend $12m immediately to develop the game, the gaming platform and to pay for the exclusive rights to develop and sell the game ”

    there are some other changes standard deviation= 50%, Risk free rate =5%

    I m sry i didn’t see the original question before i ask you my question…..

    so now will you be able to solve this problem of mine ????

    I just only want to know whether i can include $12m in investment when calculating NPV and Option price using black and scholes (meaning, in NPV calculation : Year 0 = investment $47m and in value of option (BSOP) calculation : P(e)= $47m). I have no other confusion and will be able to do the rest.

    I am sorry – I cannot help because I do not have the Kaplan Kit (only the BPP Kit).
