Because the investments will reduce costs and increase the working efficiency in manufacturing process. And the analysis will show that adding investment is valuable and profitable. Based on KR+H’s past financial performance and the cost of investment, KR+H would need additional financing to fund the proposed capital investment. The internal financing could be very difficult for KR+H based on it had a deficit in 1992. And internal financing may also slow down the investments because KR+H has to retain its profit. Also rising the price is not a very good option in a long-term perspective. Because it could retard their growth and therefore did not represent a viable path to a long-term profitability. So we suggest that KR+H should finance the proposed capital by relying on external financing from a bank or an outside investor.
