...Caledonia Products Integrative Problem Michelle M. Rayford, Peter Pontone, and Sibylle Letzelter FIN/370 June 18, 2012 Laura Haase Caledonia Products Integrative Problem Question 1 Caledonia should focus on project free cash flows as opposed to accounting profits earned because free cash lows show the value of the projects. Caledonia needs to isolate the project independent from regular company financials to understand how the project will contribute value to the business. Accounting profits earned will take into account the entire business and it will not isolate the project. A good example is dry cleaners that decide to open up a second location.
