1. Vinatex’s Board of Directors is deciding whether they should invest in which new factory between the two regions below.

   Project 1) The first new yarn factory will be located in the southwestern region. This initiative will put the company in the right position to become an industry leader in production. The initial investment of the project is $4,305,000 and the project is expected to have a lifetime of 10 years. The yarn factory requires a feasibility study with monthly spending of $191,675 is charged for agency service and competitor data during the project. The new yarn factory initiative is projected to bring a fixed revenue of $4,571,500 per year for the first 5 years and from the sixth year onwards it increases $184,500 per year until the end of the project.

   Project 2) The yarn factory expansion initiative will rely on its existing factory located in the northeast region. This initiative will help the company increase its production capacity and the initial cost of this project is estimated at $3,946,250 with no further monthly cost. This project is expected to last for 10 years and generate sales of $1,588,750 per year for the first three years and from the fourth year onwards it increases $358,750 per year until the end of its lifetime.

   - I choose project 1 because it has greater NPV, IRR and less payback period

   Requirement: Discuss 3 qualitative factors (non-financial factors) related to your selected project and explain to your Board of Directors how they will help the company grow sustainably.
