Chuck Sweet and his sister Kay grew up watching their grandmother make the best chocolates at Christmas using an old family recipe. They have decided that it is time to mass-market the chocolates, expecting them to be especially popular around the holiday season. They have already chosen a name for their new com- pany: the Arctic Candy Company (ACC). ACC's owners have come to you and asked for help in determining the feasibility of their new venture. They would like you to prepare a report that incorporates a break-even analysis and any other analysis you deem necessary given the information provided. You should also include a qualitative discussion of the risks and opportunities of the new venture. The information they provided is found in Exhibit 1.

ACC believes that with its superior chocolate recipe, it can obtain somewhere between 0.5% and 2% of the worldwide chocolate market.

Direct materials are expected to be $2 per box and direct labour $1. The packaging of the chocolates is expected to cost $1.50 per box. ACC will incur fixed expenses of $500,000 annually. This includes the rent on a building located in the down town core and a fixed distribution fee to retailers. ACC will not be tax exempt. It has a tax rate of 30%.
