If the sales outlook for the coming three years was only 20,000,000 and B.E. continued producing at the rate of 30,000,000 units, a total of 10,000,000 units would be dumped into ending inventory at the end of each year once again reducing costs of goods sold and falsely increasing income. By the end of year 2013, B.E. Company would have 35,000,000 units sitting in ending inventory taking up space and costing money to store. Once again if the president’s bonus is based off of net income, this situation is the most favorable for a high paying bonus and encourages stockpiling inventory to inflate net income.
The investment for a new plant is 70 million dollars. If an entrant company has about 10% of the share (compared to the incumbent share of 35%) the profit for the company will be about 2 M. Ignoring the discount rate, it will take about 35 years to recover the cost of the new plant. This shows that the industry is capital intensive and it will be not an easy decision for a company to enter this industry. Additionally the plants are a scale intensive investment. For a 250 million sq ft plant the rate per square feet comes to 0.25 whereas for an 80 million sq ft facility this rate is 0.43.

Not only will the massive amounts oil produced from this area have an effect, it is estimated to create anywhere from 250,000-735,000 jobs. Just for a reference as to how much this will boost the economy, since 1977 the North Slope oil development has pumped 500 billion dollars back into the economy.

(source 2) Action needs to be taken immediately because from the date of approval to exploration it takes anywhere from 7-12 years until the first barrel of oil is recovered. (Source 1/3) The 16 billion barrels of oil that lie untapped there would be more than enough to replace the oil Americans would purchase from Iraq for over 58 years.
