Skiatook Bio-Solutions (SBS) has hired you as a consultant to assess the economic feasibility of investing $5,000,000 to purchase a fully operational toad ranch. The ranch is currently capable of raising and bringing to market 5,000,000 toads per year. The toads will be marketed and sold as environmentally safe insect control mechanisms at $480 per 1000(toads). Due to a worldwide shortage of toads and increasing concern over the environmental damage caused by pesticides, the price of toads is expected to increase at 5 percent per year for centuries to come. The cost of labor, which will be $2,000,000 next year, is expected to continue to increase in perpetuity at a rate of 3 percent per year. The apparatus that is used to aerate (supply oxygen to) the lagoon in which the toads grow and multiply must be replaced immediately. The current cost to replace the aerator is $1,000,000. Although aerators do not qualify for any investment tax credit, the aerator can be depreciated to a zero salvage value over a four-year period using straight-line depreciation. An industrial engineer hired by SBS estimates that the aerator must be replaced every five years. The cost of aerators is expected to increase at 4percent per year far into the foreseeable future. Assuming that SBS has an opportunity cost of capital of 10 percent and a corporate tax rate of 30 percent, determine whether the firm should acquire the toad ranch.
