"The savings from labor reductions and increased productivity are only $4 million per year. The price tag for this factory-and it's a small one-is $45 million. That gives a payback period of more than 11 years. That's a long time to put the company's money at risk." "Yeah, but you're overlooking the savings that we'll get from the increase in quality," interjected John Simpson, production manager. "With this system, we can decrease our waste and our rework time significantly. Those savings are worth another million dollars per year." "Another million will only cut the payback to about 9 years," retorted Bill. "Ron, you're the marketing manager-do you have any insights?"

- As an example of a company that did not ignore its cost of capital, consider Coca-Cola in the 1980’s. It had very little debt because it preferred to raise equity capital from its stockholders. It also had a diversified product line, including products like aquaculture and wine. But none of these activities earned as much as its soft drink division. The opportunity cost of investing in these unrelated businesses was the forgone opportunity to expand the soft drink division, which at the time was earning a 16 percent return on capital. Although, these other businesses were earning a positive 10 percent rate of return on capital, the opportunity cost of that capital was 16 percent. CEO Robert Goizueta correctly decided to sell off these under-performing divisions and invest the capital in its soft drink division. By making decisions whose benefits were greater than their costs, the topic of this chapter, Coca-Cola increased its profitability.arrow_forwardPlease help?arrow_forward\table[[Number of Factories,Q=100,Q=200,Q=300,Q=400,Q=500,Q=600arrow_forward
