Windhoek Bakeries has identified a niche market in which they would sell a special type of bread to high schools in Namibia. Since this is a special type of bread that is not being manufactured currently, Windhoek Bakeries expects that they will be in business for two years before competitors enter the market. As such they have planned for this two year horizon after which they will review their business plan. The initial baking equipment required to facilitate this project will cost Windhoek Bakeries N$7 000 000. They expect to generate a revenue of N$6 500 000 in each of the two years with at a selling price of $10 per unit. The total variable costs for the bakery are expected to be N$2 000 000 for each of the two years. The required rate of return on similar projects is 8%.
