Idaho Johnson, an archeologist/adventurer, considers launching an expedition to recover a valuable 6,000-year-old crown in Egypt’s Siwa Oasis. The case evaluates the investment decision, analyzing costs (upfront, recurring, opportunity), potential revenues from private collectors and museums, and the expedition’s 20% success rate. Key considerations include calculating total expedition costs, comparing buyer offers using present value analysis, determining expected ROI, and weighing factors for and against the investment. The final decision hinges on whether the expected 80% ROI meets Idaho’s 85% requirement, balancing financial returns with the thrill of adventure and potential additional benefits.
