Option 2: Outsourcing the supply of ore

Kidman Resources can contract BHP to supply the required ore to process into lithium hydroxide. Based on the required amount of lithium hydroxide, management has quoted a total cost of $28 million. BHP has however offered this rate on the condition that Kidman Resources pays 20% of the total cost in advance in the beginning of the year, with the remaining paid in equal instalments thereafter. Kidman Resources will process the ore into lithium hydroxide using existing facilities at an expected cost of $4.4 million per year.

Tax rate= 28%, discount rate = 10%
