Mudurnu Yem plans to produce high-quality chicken feed. Existing storage that is currently leased to a nearby company is planning to be used in the new project. The storage's rental price for the following year is $130,000, and the rent is predicted to increase at a rate of 4% percent every year afterward. In addition to utilizing the storage, the new project requires $1.38 million investment in plant and equipment. For tax purposes, this may be depreciated straight-line over a ten-year period.
