Scale Differences

The Pinkerton Publishing Company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A calls for the expenditure of $47 million on a large-scale, integrated plant that will provide an expected cash flow stream of $7 million per year for 20 years. Plan B calls for the expenditure of $13 million to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant that has an expected cash flow stream of $3.1 million per year for 20 years. The firm's cost of capital is 12%.
