22. Harmon Industries is considering adding a new store. As a final step in reviewing the proposed project, the CFO wants to take into account two real options that are attached to the proposed project.

First, there is a timing option. One year from now, the company will have a much better idea of whether the county will raise or lower its property taxes. The firm might want to wait a year to decide whether it makes sense to proceed with their proposed project because the county taxes could significantly affect the project's cash flows.

Second, there is an abandonment option. After two years, the company will have the option to shut down the store if it is determined that the store is losing money and will continue to lose money.
Which of the following statements is most correct?

In this case, the option to delay the project actually takes value away from the project.
The abandonment option is likely to increase the project's expected cash flows.
The abandonment option is likely to increase the project's risk.
An abandonment and investment timing option can not exist for the same project.
In this case, the option to delay the project is likely to increase the project's risk.

23. Business risk is concerned with the operations of the firm. Which of the following is NOT associated with (or not a part of) business risk?
demand variability
sales price variability
the extent to which operating costs are fixed
changes in required returns due to financing decisions
