Imagine that you are the financial manager for a company in Phuket that specializes in wildlife tours. Though your company is well-known for elephant treks and guided walking tours, it has begun to lose business to other tourism companies that provide adventure-based tours using motorbikes and boats. One day, a colleague approaches you with an exciting new investment he thinks the company could make in safari trucks. He believes that the rugged terrain and breathtaking sites of the company’s preserve are perfect for the big wheels and open roof of the safari truck. He hands you a brochure for the trucks and asks your opinion. You are impressed with the potential, but suggest that your colleague receive approval from the president of your company before discussing the idea any further. Later that week, the president stops by your office and asks you to conduct a financial analysis of the safari truck investment. Specifically, he would like to know whether the company will likely profit from this investment, break even, or lose money. If a profit is likely, he would like for you to authorize the capital spending of this investment.
