Abstract
This research aimed to study the financial feasibility of investing in the construction of a product processing facility for Khon Hua Jai In-Si Baan Nam Sub Phatthana Community Enterprise, Phatthana Nikhom District, Lopburi Province. The sample consisted of three community enterprise leaders and members. Data collection using a validated interview instrument had an IOC between 0.67 to 1.00 and analyzed using financial tools to assess investment feasibility, including payback period (PB), net present value (NPV), profitability index (PI), and internal rate of return (IRR).
The research results found that the payback period (PB) was 1 year, 9 months, and 25 days, indicating a faster payback than the project's 5-year lifespan. The net present value (NPV) was 169,781.68 baht, which is greater than zero, indicating a higher rate of return than the cost of capital. The profit index (PI) was 1.34, which is greater than 1, indicating a decision to invest in a product processing greenhouse. The internal rate of return (IRR) was 47 percent, which is greater than the required rate of return or cost of capital. This shows that it is appropriate to decide to invest in the construction of a product processing facility. The Khon Hua Jai In-Si Baan Nam Sub Phatthana Community Enterprise, Phatthana Nikhom District, Lopburi Province, should decide to invest in the construction of a product processing facility because it can pay back the investment quickly and the return on investment is higher than desired.
