Problem 3-11 Perot Corporation is developing a new CPU chip based on a new type of technology. Its new chip, the Patay2 chip, will take two years to develop. However, because chip manufacturers will be able to copy the technology, it will have a market life of two years after it is introduced. Perot expects to be able to price the chip higher in the first year, and it anticipates a significant production cost reduction after the first year as well. The relevant information for developing and selling the Patay2 is given below. PATAY2 CHIP PRODUCT ESTIMATES Development cost Pilot testing Debug $ 20,000,000 $ 5,000,000 Ranp-up cost Advance marketing Marketing and support cost $ 2,100,000 $ 3,000,000 $ 3,200,000 $ 1,000,000 per year Unit production cost year 1 $ 655.00 Unit production cost year 2 $ 545.00 Unit price year 1 $ 820.00 Unit price year 2 $ 650.00 Sales and production volune year 1 250,000 Sales and production volune year 2 150,000 Interest rate. 10% PATAY2 CHIP PROJECT TIMING PROJECT SCHEDULE YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3 YEAR 4 PATAT2 CHIP HALF 2ND HALF 1st HALF 2ND 2ND 2ND HALF HALF HALF HALF HALF Development Pilot Testing Debug Ramp-up Advance Marketing Marketing and Support Production and Sales Assume all cash flows occur at the end of each period. a.

Round your answer to the nearest thousand.) Net present value b. Perot's engineers have determined that spending $10 million more on development will allow them to add even more advanced features. Having a more advanced chip will allow them to price the chip $50 higher in both years ($870 for year 1 and $700 for year 2). What is the NPV of the project if this option is implemented? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Round your answer to the nearest thousand.) Net present value c. If sales are only 200,000 the first year and 100,000 the second year, what would the NPV of the project be? Assume the development costs and sales price are as originally estimated. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Round your answer to the nearest thousand.) Net present value
