Acme co. is considering a four-year project that will require an initial investment of $9,000. the base-case cash flows for this project are projected to be $14,000 per year. the best-case cash flows are projected to be $21,000 per year, and the worst-case cash flows are projected to be –$2,500 per year. the company’s analysts have estimated that there is a 50% probability that the project will generate the base-case cash flows. the analysts also think that there is a 25% probability of the project generating the best-case cash flows and a 25% probability of the project generating the worst-case cash flows.

See below.

Explanation:

We compute the expected return of the projects taking in to account all the probabilities and comparing the results to initial outlay.

Expected return = Probability * return

Expected return = 14,000*0.5 + 21,000*0.25 + (-2500*0.25)

Expected return = $11,625

Since the expected return of the investment is more that the initial out lay of $9,000 by $2,625, the project should be accepted and invested in.

Hope that helps.

you get one warning and if you do something to violate the guidelines of after that you get kicked off.
