Module 4 Mini-Case Assignment Instructions The Owens Chocolatier Company is a midsized company operating in Virginia Beach, VA. The company specializes in making specialty chocolates and candies and sells its products in physical stores throughout the southeast. In recent years, the company has been successful at reaching customers throughout the US thanks to its revamped website and online marketing efforts. The company's president Ryan Owens is considering purchasing new equipment and machinery to be able to meet the increased demand. The new machinery and equipment costs $450,000 and is expected to be used for 5 years. Mr. Owens expects to sell the equipment's parts for $50,000 in year 6 and expects to use straight line depreciation.

Working with the marketing and accounting departments, he gave you a report that shows expected revenues in the next 5 years and expected expenses. He also supplied you with expected investments in working capital. The tax rate=21% and the required return = 15%.
