The prompt

Illustrative numbers, fictional company. A dairy company in the United Arab Emirates has AED 1,000 million invested at home and earns an 18 percent ROIC; its cost of capital is 9 percent. Its advantage at home is a trusted brand plus a cold-chain delivery network that reaches most grocery shops every day. It wants to invest AED 400 million to enter a neighbouring country, where it has no brand and would have to build its own cold chain. It expects NOPAT of AED 20 million a year there by year three. Should it go ahead?
