Question 2 (Total: 30 marks)
Grey Mountain Summit Company is considering starting a small
catering business in Whitehorse. The company would need to purchase
a delivery van and equipment costing $125,000 to operate the
business and another $60,000 for inventories and other working
capital needs. Rent for the building to be used by the business
will be $35,000 per year. Bree, a Business student at YU and part
time employee at Grey Mountain, indicates that the annual cash
inflow from the business will amount to $120,000. In addition to
the building rent, annual cash outflow for operating costs will
amount to $40,000. Bree wants to operate the catering business for
only six years. She estimates that the equipment could be sold at
that time for 4% of its original cost. Bree uses a 16% discount
rate. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.)
