In the first and second years of operation, the project will generate 700,000 dinars in each year. After two years, Monk will terminate the project, and the expected salvage value is 300,000 dinars. Monk has assigned a discount rate of 12 percent to this project. The following additional information is available:

1.There is currently no withholding tax on remittances to the United States

2. There is a 20 percent chance that the Tunisian government will impose a withholding tax of 10 percent beginning next year.

3.There is a 50 percent chance that the Tunisian government will pay Monk 100,000 dinar after two years instead of the 300,000 dinars it expects.
