In recent years, the market was flooded by rival products and now the company is reassessing its product. If it abandons the product, it can recover $2 million of its original investment by selling its production facility. If it continues to produce the product, its estimated revenues for successive two-year periods will be $5 million and $3 million and its costs will be $4 million and $2.5 million. (After four years the plant will have zero resale value.) What would be the company’s best course of action?
