Question: The CMC analyzes the possibility of an expansion through the construction of a new
factory either in Los Angeles or in San Francisco, or maybe in both cities. Also think
to build, at most, a new warehouse, but the decision on the place where
will install is restricted to the city where the new factory is built. In the third
column of table 1. the net present value is shown - total yield you take in
count the value of money over time of each alternative.
In the last column, provides the required capital - included in the net present value - for investments, where the total available capital is 10 million dollars.
The goal is to find the feasible combination of alternatives that maximizes the total net present value.
