PASSAGE II (Questions 11 – 20)
In 1997 Mr. Deepak, a chemical engineer, began experimenting in his spare time with a new method for
processing fresh orange juice. By 2000, he had perfected the process to such an extent that he was ready to
begin production in a small way. His process enabled him to extract 18 percent more juice from oranges than
was typically extracted by a pressure juicer of the type currently used in cafes. His process also removed
some of the bitterness, which got into the juice from the peelings when oranges were squeezed without
peeling them.
Since many of the better quality restaurants preferred to serve fresh orange juice instead of canned or frozen
juice, Mr. Deepak believed he could find a ready market for his product. Another appeal of his product would
be that he could maintain more consistent juice flavor than haphazard restaurant juicing usually produced.
Mr. Deepak patented the process and then started production. Since his capital was limited, he began
production in a small building, which previously had been a woodworking shop. With the help of his brother,
Mr. Deepak marketed the juice through local restaurants. The juice was distributed in glass bottles, which
proved to be rather expensive because of high breakage. The new product was favourably accepted by the
public and the business proved to e a success.
Mr. Deepak began to receive larger and more frequent orders from his customers and their business
associates. In 2002, he quit his regular job in order to devote full time to his juice business. He soon reached
his capacity because of his inability to personally over a larger area with his pickup truck. Advertising was on a
small scale because of limited funds. Faced with the problems of glass bottle breakage and limited
advertisement and distribution, Mr. Deepak approached a regional food distributor for a solution Mr. Deepak
was offered a plan where by the distributor would advertise and distribute the product on the basis of 25
percent of gross sales. The distributor would assist Mr. Deepak in securing a loan from the local bank to
expand the production.
Before he had an opportunity to contact the bank to borrow money, Mr. Deepak was introduced to Mr. Sunil, a
plastics engineer, who produced plastic containers. Mr. Deepak mentioned his own problems in the expansion
of his business. Mr. Sunil wanted to finance expended juice production with the understanding that plastic
containers would be used for marketing the orange juice. He would lend the money interest free, but he was
to receive 40 percent of the net profits for the next ten years. Distribution and advertising agent for 25 percent
of gross sales. The principal on Mr. Sunil's invested money was to be repaid by Mr. Deepak on a basis of 10
percent of his share of the profits. Mr. Sunil was to retain an interest in the profits of the firm until the loan was
repaid, or at least for ten years.
Mr. Deepak's current sales were 10,000 litres of juice a month. If distribution could be expanded, sales could
be doubled, given the potential demand. Of the possible total sales of 20,000 a month, about 75 percent
would be sold to large restaurants and the reminder to small cafes and canteens. As soon as the juices were
bottled in plastic containers, sales could also be made to household consumers. Mr. Deepak was very
optimistic that sales to the final consumer through retail shops would succeed. Some initial contacts were
made with a local manager of a food chain supermarket. The manager was sure that he could sell 4,000 litres
a month through his outlets.
Mr. Deepak also calculated his potential profits. His goal was to increased sales while at the same time
earning a 10 percent rate of return on his prior capital investment in equipment and other assets. The present
value of Mr. Deepak's investment was Rs. 2,50,000. Of this sum, machinery and equipment were valued at
Rs. 1,00,000; building was worth Rs. 50,000 and his patent and know-how were valued at Rs. 1,00,000. On
the basis of this evaluation, Mr. Deepak desired a return of Rs. 25,000 above salaries and other expenses
after the first year of operation.
Both the regional distributor and Mr. Sunil believed that Mr. Deepak's sales could be increased to 15,000 litres
of juice per month by the end of the first year of expanded operations. However, the extent to which
production could be expanded to meet demand depended on the availability of plastic containers (which
would be supplied at factory cost under Mr. Sunil's proposal), and additional machinery. Increased market
coverage would be obtained both under the regional food distributor and Mr. Sunil's proposals. The critical
deciding factor, as Mr. Deepak understood, was which plan would maximize his return on investment beyond
the minimum figure of 10 percent.
