Thirdd Foods is considering producing a new candy, Yum. Thirdd has spent two years and P450,000 developing this product. Thirdd has also test marketed Yum, spending P100,000 to conduct consumer surveys and tests of the product in 25 states. Based on previous candy products and the results in the test marketing, management believes consumers will buy 4 million packages each year for ten years at 50 cents per package. Equipment to produce Yum will cost Thirdd P1,000,000, and P300,000 of additional net working capital will be required to support Yum sales.
