Raindeer PLC is a highly profitable electronics company that manufactures a range of innovativeproducts for industrial use. Its success is based to a large extent on the ability of the company’sdevelopment group to generate new ideas that result in commercially viable products. The latestof these products is just about to undergo some final tests and a decision has to be taken whetheror not to proceed with an investment in the facilities required for manufacturing. You have beenasked to undertake an evaluation of this investment.The company has already spent £750,000 on the development of this product. The final testing ofthe product will cost about £40,000. The head of the development group is very confident that thetests will be successful based on the work already undertaken. Another company has alreadyoffered Raindeer £1.10 million for the product’s patent and an exclusive right to its manufactureand sale, even though the final tests are still to be completed. This sum being…
