The Math Thread!!! :)
hey guys lets do some math!!
I'll post one first, if you answer it correctly you get to post the next one!
Assume that The Home Depot is considering opening a small store in France. The store will cost 120 million FF to build, and the present value of the expected cash flows from the store is 100 million FF. Further assume that by opening this store, Home Depot acquires the option to expand into a much larger store any time over the next 5 years. The cost of expansion will be 200 million FF, and it will be undertaken only if the present value of the expected cash flows exceeds 200 million FF. At the moment, the present value of the expected cash flows from the expansion is believed to be only 150 million FF. If it were not, the Home Depot would have opened to larger store right away. The Home Depot still does not know much about the market for home improvement products in France, and there is considerable uncertainty about this estimate. The standard deviation of the estimate is 28.3%. The appropriate riskless rate is 6%.
(a) Calculate the value of this option to expand for The Home Depot.
(b) Should The Home Depot accept the project (i.e.open the small store) based on simple (naïve) capital budgeting analysis that you learnt in previous finance courses? Support your answer with numerical calculations.
(c) Should The Home Depot accept the project based on option pricing analysis that you learnt in this course? Support your answer with numerical calculations.

Thread reported!
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Why doesn't Home Depot just go with the expanded version and spread the extra 50 mill. across it's other more profitable stores in areas that can't expand any larger, that way they'll get that extra 50 mill. per year and overtime it will make up for the stores that can't expand...
