<p>Imagine you are the CFO of ABC Pharmaceuticals, and you have just financed a Phase 3 clinical trial for a new migraine medication at a cost of $200 million. If the trial is successful, the market launch for the new therapy would cost $100 million, and would occur at the end of the clinical trial in 3 years.</p>
<ol>
<li>If we think of the possibility of launching the new therapy as an option, is it a call or a put?

<p>Imagine you are the CFO of ABC Pharmaceuticals, and you have just financed a Phase 3 clinical trial for a new migraine medication at a cost of $200 million. If the trial is successful, the market launch for the new therapy would cost $100 million, and would occur at the end of the clinical trial in 3 years. In addition, depending on economic market conditions, the present value of future commercialization profits could either go up 50% to $750 million or down 50% to $250 million. The 3-year annualized risk-free rate is 4% per year.
</p>
<ol>
<li>Ignoring the scientific risk associated with the trial (which is assumed to be independent of the market risk), what is the value of the project? (Note: Your answer should be expressed in units of millions of dollars.)
