=+Elisa: No, really, I was being serious. My analysis does not support constructing a new ware¬

house. The numbers don’t lie, the warehouse does not meet our investment return targets.

In fact, it seems to me that purchasing a warehouse does not add much value to the busi¬

ness. We need to be producing product to satisfy customer orders, not to fill a warehouse.

I. M.: Listen, you need to understand something. The headquarters people will not allow me to build the warehouse ifthe numbers don’t add up. You know as well as I that many assumptions go into your net present value analysis.
