Investing $100,000 in Additional Raw Materials Today-Mostly in Palladium-Should Allow

question 27

Essay

Investing $100,000 in additional raw materials today-mostly in palladium-should allow Cryogenic Concepts to increase production and earn an additional $112,000 next year. This payoff would cover the investment today, plus a 12% return. Palladium is traded in commodity markets. The CFO has studied the history of returns on investments in palladium and believes that investors in that precious metal can reasonably expect a 15% return. Is Cryogenic's investment in palladium a good idea? Why or why not?
