A marketing manager at Apsitle, a premium chocolate manufacturer, is evaluating six proposed product concepts submitted by the Product Development team. Each row in the table below presents financial projections for one of the proposed products. These projections will help determine whether the products meet the company’s launch criteria.
All figures are in USD millions. Unless otherwise noted, Year 1 values are expected to remain unchanged over the 5-year evaluation period.
Revenue: Forecasted Year 1 sales; assumed constant across Years 1–5
Operating Cost: Recurring annual cost for production, marketing, and logistics
G&A Cost: One-time R&D overhead applied in Year 1 only
Capital Investment: One-time upfront investment required to launch the product, applies only in year 1.
Profit over 5 years can be defined as Revenue - Operating Costs over 5 years - all one time costs and investments.
| Product | Revenue (Yr 1) | Operating Cost (Annual) | G&A Cost (Year 1 only) | Capital Investment (Upfront) | Shelf Life (months) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 8.0 | 4.2 | 1.3 | 2.5 | 18 |
| B | 10.2 | 6.1 | 1.4 | 3.2 | 10 |
| C | 7.6 | 4.0 | 1.1 | 1.9 | 24 |
| D | 11.4 | 6.5 | 1.5 | 4.0 | 12 |
| E | 9.0 | 5.4 | 1.3 | 2.8 | 14 |
| F | 6.5 | 3.5 | 1.2 | 1.7 | 20 |

Q2 asks us to measure the highest capital efficiency.
Capital Efficiency = 5-year profit / Capital Invested
For C,
5 year revenue = Year 1 Revenue x 5 = 7.6 x 5 = $38 million
5 year Operating cost = Annual Operating Cost x 5 = 4 x 5 = $20 million
Other fixed costs(1 time only) = G&A Cost + Capital Investment = 1.1 + 1.9 = $3 million
Total costs = 20 + 3 = $23 million
So, Profit = Revenue - Total Costs = 38 - 23 = $15 million
Capital efficiency = 15 / 1.9 = 7.894, which is the highest value among all the given options.
