    Good-day Mr John.
    I seem to be confused as to how the last column in Cooper Co (a) was arrived at in the suggested solutions. The column contains the NPV.
    I also don’t know how a ii and iii answers were arrived at.

    For each of the possible outcome, the NPV is the PV of the year 1 flow plus the PV of the year 2 flow, less the initial investment of 3,500.

    For part (ii) to get the probability of the NPV being negative we add up the probabilities of all the outcomes that give a negative NPV, from the table.

    The most likely outcome is the one with the highest probability. The highest probably of the various outcomes is 0.30.
