You have a chance to make a $10m investment today that will lead to a one-time increase in profit for your company of exactly $11m in exactly 5 years. Explain why the value of that increased profit (present value) is less than $11m today. b. You are the line producer on a film set.  You decide to rent an IMAX camera rig for $1,000 per-day.  You also are in charge of constructing a large full-scale wooden pirate ship for $500,000, which will be blown up during a filming scene.
