(Q26-1)
Kim Hotels is interested in developing a new hotel in Seoul. The company estimates that the hotel would require an initial investment of $20 million. Kim expects the hotel will produce positive cash flow of $3 million a year at the end of each of the next 20 years. The project cost of capital is 13%.
(A) What is the project’s net present value?
(B) Kim expects the cash flows to be $3 million a year, but it recognizes that the cash
flows could actually be much higher or lower, depending on whether the Korean
government imposes a large hotel tax. One year from now, Kim will know whether
There is a 50% change that the tax will be imposed, in which case the yearly cash
flows will be only $2.2 million. At the same time, there is a 50% chance that the
tax will not be imposed, in which case the yearly cash flows will be $3.8 million.
Kim is deciding whether to proceed with the hotel today or to wait a year to find
out whether the tax will be imposed. If Kim waits a year, the initial investment
will remain at $20 million. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Use
decision-tree analysis to determine whether Kim should proceed with the project
today or wait a year before deciding.
