In year 2, each branch will produce three possible outcomes as shown in the table below. The risk-free rate of return is 7.5%. Calculate the Expected Net Present Value (NPV), Variance and Standard Deviation of this investment project by using probability tree approach. YEAR 1 YEAR 2 Initial Net Cash Conditional Net Cash Flow Branch Probability P(1) Probability P (2/1) 0.20 Flow $700 $200 $500 1 0.30 $600 0.40 2 0.40 3 0.30 -$100 4 $300 $300 $500 0.50 0.30 5 0.40 6 0.30 -$400 7 0.20 0.50 0.20 -$150 -$100 $200 9
