Your company would like to build a plant that produces 200 kMTA of fuel-grade ethanol from corn using a dry-milling process. The overall yield is 2.5 gallons of ethanol per bushel of corn. A byproduct of the process is livestock feed produced at 22 pounds per bushel of corn (the livestock feed is valued at $0.05/lb). Assuming the total operating costs for the plant will be $20MM per year, determine the simple payback time and the simple pre-tax return on investment for building the plant.
