Don't-Cha-Wanna-a-Coffee, a large-scale coffee company that has a chain of 125 retail coffee stores throughout New England,
was embroiled in an ethics scandal 3 years ago. One of their employees overinflated the company earnings which caused the
value of the stock to plummet. Investors were not happy, so they pulled out a large majority of their investment and sales were hurt by the negative publicity.
To help recover from this catastrophe, the chief operating officer (COO) is considering making an investment to purchase a machine that speeds up the cooking time of their top secret donut.

for the customers' demand. Dunkin, the COO, hopes that this new machine allows the donuts to be produced quicker than the stand-alone production machine.
This will allow for an increase to the volume of donuts produced within the same time frame that current production is running. Dunkin is a financially savy employee,

Dunkin receives a base salary plus 30% bonus of his salary if he meets certain benchmarks.
