13. Gadgeteer Inc. is planning the market strategy for their new widget. They could bring it directly to market. This would result in a 40% chance of a successful launch (and therefore a 60% chance of an unsuccessful one). A successful launch would result in a NPV of $22 million. A failed one would result in a negative NPV of $9 million. Or, they could test market the product for two years (thus delaying any potential launch by two years). The test marketing would also cost a

- Ang Electronics, Incorporated, has developed a new mesh network. If successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $33.6 million. If the mesh network fails, the present value of the payoff is $11.6 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 40 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.26 million to test market the mesh network. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 70 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. Calculate the NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market.

- All American Telephones Inc. is considering the production of a new cell phone. The project will require an investment of $13 million. If the phone is well received, the project will produce cash flows of $8 million a year for 3 years, but if the market does not like the product, the cash flows will be only $1 million per year. There is a 50% probability of both good and bad market conditions. All American can delay the project a year while it conducts a test to determine whether demand will be strong or weak. The delay will not affect the dollar amounts involved for the project's investment or its cash flows-only their timing. Because of the anticipated shifts in technology, the 1-year delay means that cash flows will continue only 2 years after the initial investment is made. All American's WACC is 9%.

- (Related to Checkpoint 13.2 and Checkpoint 13.3) (Comprehensive risk analysis) Blinkeria is considering introducing a new line of hand scanners that can be used to copy material and then download it into a personal computer. These scanners are expected to sell for an average price of $95 each, and the company analysts performing the analysis expect that the firm can sell 103,000 units per year at this price for a period of five years, after which time they expect demand for the product to end as a result of new technology. In addition, variable costs are expected to be $21 per unit and fixed costs, not including depreciation, are forecast to be $1,020,000 per year. To manufacture this product, Blinkeria will need to buy a computerized production machine for $9.7 million that has no residual or salvage value, and will have an expected life of five years. In addition, the firm expects it will have to invest an additional $309,000 in working capital to support the new business.
