You are the Vice President for Operations at Taqueria Auténtica, an authentic Mexican taco restaurant expanding quickly throughout Texas. The company wants to invest in corporate owned chains for five years, prove the marke concepts, and then sell them off as franchises after they have demonstrated proof of concept to potential owners. You have spent some time looking at potential locations in Granbury and Stephenville. Based on the specific locations the start-up costs would be $671,258 for Granbury, and $883,695 for Stephenville. The business risk at each location would be similar to risks at the overall corporation, and should require a weighted average cost of capital of 7.12%. The investment in one location does not affect the ability of the company to invest at the other location in any way. Calculate the net present value of both projects, and enter in the box below how much the value of the firm is expected to increase based on this capital budget (please enter the amount to the nearest penny).

With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a “surf lifestyle for the home.” With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent people’s homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 12,000 in the first year, with growth of 8 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require $85,000 in net working capital to start. Total fixed costs are $185,000 per year, variable production costs are $21 per unit, and the units are priced at $67 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $675,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a 5-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The tax rate is 25 percent and the required rate of return is 19 percent. What is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places,…
Abuela Pastries operates a chain of bakeries and is considering the sprinkle cookie project, which would involve selling sprinkle cookies for 1 year. The firm expects sales of sprinkle cookies to be $158,000 and associated costs from flour, butter, sugar, etc. used to make sprinkle cookies to be $69,000. The firm believes that sales of frosted cookies, a type of cookie that is currently offered by the firm, would be $33,000 less with the addition of sprinkle cookies, and that costs associated with frosted cookies would be $18,000 less with the addition of sprinkle cookies. Finally, Abuela Pastries believes that selling sprinkle cookies would increase traffic to its bakeries, which would increase expected sales of bread, cakes, and other items by $23,000 more than it would be without the addition of sprinkle cookies, and increase costs of bread, cakes, and other items by $15,000 more than it would be without the addition of sprinkle cookies. What is the operating cash flow (OCF) for…
You must prepare a return on investment analysis for the regional manager of Fast & Great Burgers. This growing chain is trying to decide which outlet of two alternatives to open. The first location (A) requires an average $1,000,000 investment and is expected to yield annual net income of $160,000. The second location (B) requires an average $600,000 investment and is expected to yield annual net income of $108,000. Compute the return on investment for each Fast & Great Burgers alternative. Using return on investment as your only criterion, which location (A or B) should the company open? (The chain currently generates an 18% return on total assets.)

Having recently graduated with a visual arts degree, Zane is considering starting a new business in this field, selling exotic artwork. He believes he can sell each piece of artwork for an average price of $600. The suppliers of the artwork will be paid a commission of 25% of the price.

Billingham Packaging is considering expanding its production capacity by purchasing a new machine, the XC-750. The cost of the XC-750 is $2.77 million. Unfortunately, installing this machine will take several months and will partially disrupt production. The firm has just completed a $45,000 feasibility study to analyze the decision to buy the XC-750, resulting in the following estimates: • Marketing: Once the XC-750 is operational next year, the extra capacity is expected to generate $10.05 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of the machine. • Operations: The disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by $5.09 million this year. As with Billingham's existing products, the cost of goods for the products produced by the XC-750 is expected to be 72% of their sale price. The increased production will also require increased inventory on hand of $1.11 million during the life of the project, including year 0. • Human Resources: The…

Now let us look at Ipana Oy's operating systems from another perspective. Ipana Oy has found some potential long-time partners in the restaurant business. To optimize the supply chain, the company is negotiating for contracts that would allow all production in the coming years to be sold to these partners. The contracts aim to shift production to 20 liter barrels of beer, which would become the sole product of Ipana Oy. In case the negotiations are successful, Ipana Oy estimates its typical year would look as follows: the quantity shipped to the customer is 18000 units at a price of 300 €/unit. The gross profit percentage is 40 % and the yearly fixed costs are 1500000 €. Additional information: The variable cost per unit [€/unit] for products that would be produced in the scenario above: 180 €/unit The critical sales price in the estimate: 264 €/product The EBITDA (earnings before interests, taxes, depreciations and amortizations) of a typical year : 660000 € Question: Calculate the…
