Question: On November 14, 2006, Doug Scovanner, CFO of Target Corporation, was preparing for the November meeting of the Capital Expenditure Committee (CEC). Scovanner was one of five executive officers who were members of the CEC (Exhibit 1). On tap for the 8:00 a.m. meeting the next morning were 10 projects representing nearly $300 million in capital-expenditure requests. With the fiscal year's end approaching in January, there was a need to determine which projects best fit Target's future store growth and capital-expenditure plans, with the knowledge that those plans would be shared early in 2007, with both the board and investment community.

In reviewing the 10 projects coming before the committee, it was clear to Scovanner that five of the projects, representing about $200 million in requested capital, would demand the greater part of the committee's attention and discussion time during the meeting.
