Ignoring qualitative issues and income taxes, should the company invest in this project?

Group of answer choices

No, because the net present value shows a return that is less than the company's required rate of return.

There is not enough quantitative information to answer this question.

No, because the internal rate of return cannot be calculated.

Yes, because the net present value shows a return that is above the company's required rate of return.

Clothing Products LLC manufactures shirts. The company is interested in outsourcing production to a reputable manufacturing company that can supply the shirts for $10 per unit. Clothing Products LLC produces 20,000 shirts each year. Variable production costs are $4 per unit and annual fixed costs are $160,000. If production is outsourced, all variable costs and 60 percent of annual fixed costs will be eliminated. Ignoring qualitative factors and income taxes, which is the best alternative?

Group of answer choices

Producing the shirts internally is the best option and results in $24,000 in savings compared to outsourcing production.

Outsourcing production is the best option and results in $64,000 in savings.
