Question

The Astro World amusement park has the opportunity
to expand its size now (the end of year 0) by purchasing
adjacent property for $250,000 and adding attractions at
a cost of $550,000. This expansion is expected to increase
attendance by 30 percent over projected attendance with-
out expansion. The price of admission is $30, with a $5
increase planned for the beginning of year 3. Additional
operating costs are expected to be $100,000 per year.
Estimated attendance for the next five years, without
expansion, is as follows:

a. What are the pretax combined cash flows for years 0
through 5 that are attributable to the park’s expansion?
b. Ignoring tax, depreciation, and the time value of money,
determine how long it will take to recover (pay back) the
investment.
