Fortunately, we expect inflation to have minimal impact on construction costs over the next four years In addition. I would expect the cost of the expansion to be proportional to the size of the expansion.
Director of Information Systems: We need to upgrade our information systems to wireless network technology.

During 20Y4, once the factory is up and running, we should equip the whole facility with wireless technology. I think it would cost us $800,000 today to install the technology. However, prices have been dropping by 25% per year, so it should be less expensive at a later date.
