G Suppose you have a possible investment that costs $100 today but, starting one year from now, pays $5 in some years with probability 1/3, and in other years pays $10 with probability 1/3, and in other years pays 8$ with probability 1/3. That is, the probability distribution over possible payments ($5,$8,$10) is (1/3,1/3,1/3). What is the expected net present value of this investment

Expected NPV=$666.67

Explanation:

Initial Cost=$100

NPV in case cash inflow is $5=-100+5/1%=$400

NPV in case cash inflow is $8=-100+8/1%=$700

NPV in case cash inflow is $10=-100+10/1%=$900

Expected NPV=(1/3)*400+(1/3)*700+(1/3)*900=$666.67

answer; post closing trial balance;

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
