001416733 520__ $$aThis paper explores the economic considerations for vertical integration for Carbolite
Foods Incorporated with Tsudis Chocolate Company, Incorporated. The central issues
analyzed are whether risk reduction, value addition and other benefits of vertical
integration warrant the cost of purchasing Tsudis Chocolate Company. The paper utilizes
the Net Present Value approach to determine the economics of purchasing Tsudis
Chocolate Company. The purchase price is compared to the current cost of purchasing
manufactured goods from contract operation facilities. A wide variety of Carbolite and
externally manufactured item volumes are compared in the analysis. Future product
growth areas are considered. A final recommendation, time line and follow-up plan are
also outlined.
