V & T Faces, Inc., would like to open a retail store in Miami. The initial investment to purchase the building is $420,000, and an additional $50,000 in working capital is required. Since this store will be operating for many years, the working capital will not be returned in the near future.
V & T Faces expects to remodel the store at the end of 3 years at a cost of $100,000. Annual net cash receipts from daily operations (cash receipts minus cash payments) are expected to be as follows:
Year 1 |
$80,000 |
Year 2 |
$115,000 |
Year 3 |
$118,000 |
Year 4 |
$140,000 |
Year 5 |
$155,000 |
Year 6 |
$167,000 |
Year 7 |
$175,000 |
The company’s required rate of return is 13 percent. Assume management decided to limit the analysis to 7 years.
