XYZ Co. is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of tire. This will be a four-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $4.9 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. The land was appraised last week for $6.4 million on an after-tax basis. In four years, the after-tax value of the land will be $7.8 million, but the company expects to keep the land for a future project. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $78 million to build.
