If they love it ( 70% probability) then in Year 1 Boyd will invest $30,000 in new manufacturing equipment. Sales will begin in Year 2 . If actual fans in the stadium love it ( 80% probability), Boyd will receive cash flows of $40,000 per year for 5 years starting in Year 2 . If fans don't like them ( 20% probability) Boyd will only receive cash flows of $2,000 per year for 5 years. What is the expected NPV of the project? Boyd's WACC is 10%.
