Alex runs a small farm shop which she set up 2 years ago. She is
finding that the shop gets very crowded at times which means that she
loses potential customers. She is therefore looking for ways to expand
her business. She has come up with two separate options to help her
to overcome this problem:
Build a small extension to her existing shop OR
Invest in new shelving which will allow her to stock the same
produce, but more efficiently, freeing up some space
She has researched these two options and has worked out the
costs that are associated with each. Alex reaches her planned
retirement age in 5 years time so plans to sell the business at that
point.
Assume that all cashflows occur at the end of the year. You can
ignore all cashflows that might occur after the end of the 5 year
period as Alex plans to retire at this point. Alex uses a discount rate
of 15%.
