Delizzia, a family owned business, produces and delivers potato chips to supermarkets and mom & pop stores. Located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Delizzia is planning to expand its operations to cover other major Argentinian cities such as Cordoba and Rosario. This expansion will require Delizzia to set up a new distribution center and acquire new vehicles for last-mile distribution. Due to budget constraints, the company will only be able to expand to one city at a time. Therefore, Delizzia needs to decide if investing in Cordoba or Rosario makes more economic sense. The company is considering a time horizon of five years to make the decision. Assume the tax rate is 40% and the discount rate for Delizzia is 15%. Ignore inflation. The table below shows the projections (incremental sales, COGS, operating expenses and depreciation) anticipated for expanding Delizzia's operations to Rosario in millions of Argentine pesos.

Assume terminal value of zero. Expanding to Rosario will require an investment of 50,000,000 Argentine Pesos (to be paid in Year O) to remodel the rented space for the distribution center and purchase the vehicles. Similarly, additional working capital will be required, but it comes in the second half of Year 1 after the remodeling is finished. That is why there is no working capital in Year 0.
