Billingham packaging is considering expanding its production capacity by purchasing a new machine, the xc-750. the cost of the xc-750 is $ 2.79 million. unfortunately, installing this machine will take several months and will partially disrupt production. the firm has just completed a $ 46,000 feasibility study to analyze the decision to buy the xc-750, resulting in the following estimates: marketing: once the xc-750 is operational next year, the extra capacity is expected to generate $10.05 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of the machine operations: the disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by $4.97 million this year. as with billingham's existing products, the cost of goods for the products produced by the xc-750 is expected to be 75% of their sale price. the increased production will also require increased inventory on hand of $1.11 million during the life of the project, including year 0 human resources: the expansion will require additional sales and administrative personnel at a cost of $1.92 million per year accounting: the xc-750 will be depreciated via the straight-line method over the 10-year life of the machine. the firm expects receivables from the new sales to be 15% of revenues and payables to be 10% of the cost of goods sold. billingham's marginal corporate tax rate is 35% billingham could instead purchase the xc-900, which offers even greater capacity. the cost of the xc-900 is $3.94 million. the extra capacity would not be useful in the first two years of operation, but would allow for additional sales in years 3-10 a. what kind of real option does the xc-900 machine provide to billingham? a. what kind of real option does the xc-900 machine provide to billingham?
