Case Prompt
The client is a waste management company in Italy. They have 3 divisions:
- Recycling
- Laboratory
- Incinerator
The head of the Incinerator division has asked the headquarters for funds to build an additional incinerator.
- Each incinerator acts as a monopolist in the area where it is located (there is no competition at the local level since there is only one incinerator every X squared miles).
- The ROI on an optimized plant is expected to be 12%
- The utilized capacity of the current incinerator is 80% and it take 2 years to build a plant.
The Headquarters has asked our help to determine whether they should make the investment.
