The marketing firm will develop the ad regardless of Kramerica's decision to continue the project or not. The project will require additional working capital of $300,000 which will be recovered at the conclusion of the project. The firm has spent $250,000 on R&D for this project. To launch the project Kramerica will have to invest $26 million today in plant and machinery. The plant and machinery have an economic life of 20 years and a salvage value of $4 million.
