Delizzia, a family owned business, produces and delivers potatochips to supermarkets and mom & pop stores. Located in BuenosAires, Argentina, Delizzia is planning to expand its operations tocover other major Argentinian cities such as Cordoba and Rosario.This expansion will require Delizzia to set up a new distributioncenter and acquire new vehicles for last-mile distribution. Due tobudget constraints, the company will only be able to expand to onecity at a time. Therefore, Delizzia needs to decide if investing inCordoba or Rosario makes more economic sense. The company isconsidering a time horizon of five years to make the decision.Assume the tax rate is 40% and the discount rate for Delizzia is15%. Ignore inflation.The table below shows the projections (incremental sales, COGS,operating expenses and depreciation) anticipated for expandingDelizzia's operations to Cordoba in millions of Argentinepesos.Cordoba's Incremental Income Statement (in millions ofArgentine pesos)Year 1Year 2Year 3Year 4Year 5Sales5680140156130COGS3034646752Gross Income2646768978Operating Expenses1122404639Operating Income (EBITDA)1524364339Depreciation66666Operating Income (EBIT)918303733Income Tax3.67.212.014.813.2Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)5.410.81822.219.8Expanding to Cordoba will require an investment of 30,000,000Argentine pesos (to be paid in Year 0) to remodel the rented spacefor the distribution center and purchase the vehicles.
