Answer:

Expected value NPV =$-,7434

Explanation:

The Expected Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of Expected value  cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good and profitable investment project and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

Expected value NPV = PV of expected value  cash inflow - PV of cash outflow  

Present value of cash inflow:  

The expected cash in flows is the sum of the cash inflows multiplied by their respective probabilities. For Tolbotics it is calculated as follows:

Expected cash inflows=m (29,500× 0.5) + (2,000× 0.5)=15,750

NPV = 15,750× (1-1.14^(-3)/0.14) - 44,000=-7434.

Expected value NPV =$-7,434
