One venture is advertising-based, and is expected to increase revenues (sales) by $600,000 (after spending the $100,000). The other venture applies the money in supply-chain efficiencies that are expected to save $200,000 (again, after spending the $100,000). Which of these two ventures offers the larger increase in profit to the firm? Use Table 11.3, reproduced below.
