Objective: Should Harris invest into the shrimp processing plant?
Issues:
1. Will this processing plant have a value today that is greater than or equal to the cost today?
-If the NPV of the plant is greater than zero, then we should move forward with the investment.
NPV Analysis:
Value> Cost
Value: PV: Value right now
PV= forecast of future cash returns (FCR)
-We used FCR to determine how much cash we get back and can deem the plan a good investment if we can bring in more than we would we spend. (Sales>Expenses)
