Q6. A company is considering taking up of one of two Petroleum Projects :X and Y. Both projects have
the same life, require equal investments of Rs.100 lakhs each and both are estimated to have almost
the same yield. As company is new to this type of infrastructure project the cash flows arising from the
projects cannot be estimated with certainty. An attempt was, therefore, made to use probability to
analyze the pattern of cash flows from either project during the first year of operation. This pattern is
likely to continue during the life of these projects. The results of the analysis are as follows:
PROJECT X PROJECT Y
CASH FLOWS PROBABILITY CASH FLOWS PROBABILITY
12 LACS 0.10 8 LACS 0.10
14 LACS 0.20 12 LACS 0.25
16 LACS 0.40 16 LACS 0.30
18 LACS 0.20 20 LACS 0.25
