Project 2: Capital Budgeting Activity
Scenario:
Your client owns a successful restaurant in downtown Chicago (at
least pre-Covid-19!). She wants to open a second restaurant in the
suburbs and has asked you to help her choose between two locations.
Key information is listed below. Using the four capital budgeting
methods that we know, prepare a presentation that shows your
recommendation to your client (and why).
Initial Investment: 2,500,000 and use 9% discount rate
Forest Park (10% tx rate) | Rosemont (10.25% tx rate) | |
Annual Cash Flows | $1,000,000 | $1,100,000 |
Annual Cash Outflows | $400,000 | $650,000 |
# years of expected useful life of project | 25 | 30 |
Annual non-cash (all depreciation) expenses:
Use straight line depreciation to find!
For both, assume no residual value and: 9% discount rate
REQUIREMENTS:
Prepare a PowerPoint that you would give/show to your client that
clearly identifies your recommendation as to which location she
should select to open her second restaurant. Additional MUST HAVES,
include clearly identified calculations of the four capital
budgeting methodologies (showing your work, not the work of Google
or Excel programmers!) we have used in this module, and sufficient
information on what these metrics mean, particularly as it relates
to your preference decision.
