Susan Jones has a job as a pharmacist earning $45,000 per year, and she is deciding whether to take another job as the manager of another pharmacy for $55,000 per year or to purchase a pharmacy that generates revenue of $350,000 per year. To purchase the pharmacy, Susan would have to use her $20,000 savings and borrow another $90,000 at an interest rate of 8% per year. The pharmacy that Susan is contemplating purchasing has additional expenses of $100,000 for prescription and non-prescription drugs and lines of women’s and men’s personal hygiene products and cosmetics; $45,000 for one full time person; $20,000 for one part time person; $12,000 for rent; $2,500 for electricity; $1,300 for natural gas; $1,200 for telecommunications; and depreciation and amortization expenses are $5,500. Assume that income and business taxes are 35% and the repayment of the principal of the loan does not start before three years. Also assume that revenue is expected to grow at 5% per year and expenses at 3% per year over the three years. Also assume that the interest rate on a 3-year U.S. Treasury bond is 3%. Determine the expected EVA (economic profit) for each of the first three years. Utilize the WACC to determine the cost of capital.
