Q Question 1 1 / 1 pts You own and operate a facility located in Taiwan that manufactures microchips. At the time you purchased the facility in 2014, you paid $2 million for the land and $3 million for the plant and equipment. When you had the value of the facility recently assessed, you learned that you could sell the entire facility (including the plant, equipment and land) today for $10 million. You also know that this valuation is not going to change during the coming year. Last year you earned a return of 10% on your favorite mutual fund investments and expect the same again this year. You estimate that inputs such as energy, labor, and raw materials cost $20 per chip.
