Your business reclaims metal waste for reprocessing. You know of a company (ABC) that just installed a new machining process line that produces 1000 MT/yr of a waste powder that is 97% aluminum and 0.05% platinum (the remainder is other impurities). You can invest in a process to reclaim pure platinum and pure aluminum from that powder, but it costs $30 MM to build and $3 MM/yr to operate. You are required to have a simple payback of at most three years for any capital investment. If ABC gives you the waste free of charge, should you proceed to construct the reclamation system? If you build the new reclaiming system, what is the maximum price you can pay ABC per pound of waste powder but still meet the investment criteria?
