The analysis was carried out on market aspects using the Segmenting, Targeting, Positioning (STP) and market size (TAM, SAM, SOM) approaches, and financial aspects through investment calculations, production costs, cost of goods manufactured (COGS), revenue, profit, R/C Ratio, Break Even Point (BEP), Payback Period, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio), and sensitivity analysis. The results of the study indicate that the palm oil flour Cookies business is feasible to be developed. At a production capacity of 350 packages per month with a selling price of Rp17,000 per package, the business earns revenue of Rp5,950,000, production costs of Rp3,701,375, and a net profit of Rp2,248,625 per month. The R/C Ratio value is 1.61, BEP 217.73 packages, Payback Period 0.47 months, NPV Rp101,241,695, IRR 2,577.23%, and B/C Ratio 1.60.
