Paula Boothe, president of the Monty Corporation, has mandated a minimum 6% return on investment for any project undertaken by the company.

The Energy Drinks division, under the direction of manager Martin Koch, has achieved a 15% return on investment for the past three years. This year is not expected to be different from the past three. Koch has just received a proposal to invest $1,998,000 in a new line of energy drinks that is expected to generate $233,200 in operating income.

- A new CEO takes control of Do-Da Industries to turn it around (to make it profitable). Based on market research she wants to focus on two specific product lines.
