Solution 3(b)
The profit the entrepreneur can make has a PV of $7.63 million. He does not accept any price
less than this amount and the private equity firm is not willing to pay more than this amount.
Note, if the PE firm buys the whole project it has to finance all costs (setup cost and operating
costs) itself. Otherwise, the PE firm would just buy future cash flows.
