i need the answer quickly 2. Three different products are manufactured in an existing batch process. Thedetails are as follows:Product ValueProductkg/batchBatches/y($/kg)A50005.52015006.251330005.7516The cost of manufacturing is $0.75 million/y. The demand for these products isincreasing, and the crystallization step has been determined to be the bottleneck toincreasing the capacity. It is desired to add 25% capacity to this process. The internalhurdle rate for process improvements is 17% p.a. over five years.a. If a new batch crystallizer, which allows for a 25% capacity increase, costs$850,000, do you recommend this process improvement?b. Capital funds are tight, and it has been determined that the maximum investmentpossible is $600,000, resulting in a smaller new crystallizer. Using this crystallizer,identical profitability as found in Part (a) has been determined. Determine whatcapacity increase results from purchasing the smaller crystallizer.c. Suppose that it is now possible to purchase the $850,000 crystallizer, therebyincreasing capacity by 25%. However, the purchase of this crystallizer requiresthat the DCFROR (for this incremental investment) be at least 40% over fiveyears. Is this DCFROR reached?

First of all, we are required to find the total product value and profit before any improvement…
