2. You are thinking about starting a restaurant franchise in Irvine, California. You are considering two choices – either a P.F. Chang’s or a Dairy Queen. Unfortunately, you only have an opportunity to build one or the other. The details are the following:
P.F. Chang’s: The franchise fee and cost of the building are $1,000,000. After careful calculation, you believe the restaurant will generate $150,000 a year in positive cash flow for the next 20 years at which point the franchise rights expire and the building is worthless (ie. There’s no extra money at the end). Discount rate is 10%.
Dairy Queen: The franchise fee and cost of the building are $500,000. After careful calculation, you believe the restaurant will generate $80,000 a year in positive cash flow for the next 20 years at which point the franchise rights expire and the building is worthless (ie. There’s no extra money at the end). Discount rate is 10%.

Alternatively, Ron can return to Hogwarts to finish school, but then he must give up the job with his brother. Graduating will take him a year and it will cost 10,000 galleons in direct costs. He knows for sure he can become an Auror after finishing his education, at a yearly salary of 800,000 galleons. He thinks that the probability that he becomes Minister of Magic 25 years after graduating (at Year 27) is 25%, and the minister's salary is 10 million galleons per year. Regardless of his choice, he wants to retire in 30 years from now (at Year 30). Assume the interest rate is 5%.

To get the remaining $15,000,000, his manager, Ari Gold, is trying to find a co-producer or an investor who is willing to lend but no one volunteers as his films are perceived to be too risky compared to usual Hollywood projects. Hence, Mr. Gold advises Mr. Lynch to deposit his $5,000,000 into a savings account with an interest rate of 6% per year (annually compounding) until he accumulates the necessary $20,000,000.

For a starring role, Liam normally receives a salary of $20,000,000 plus 5% of the receipts to the producer. (The producer normally receives 40% of the total paid admissions wherever the movie is shown.) However, Liam is quite optimistic about the prospects of the film and has expressed some interests in a special contract that would give him only 25% of his normal salary but increase his portion of the receipts to the producer to 20%. Other than Goodlooking’s pay, costs of producing the picture are expected to be $45,000,000. Both the producing company and prospective star have given further thought to the contract terms and concluded that some provision probably should be made for revenues to be earned from contracts authorizing showings of the movie on television.

- Use the information below to answer the following question: The owner of the Krusty Krab is considering selling his restaurant and retiring. An investor has offered to buy the Krusty Krab for $350,000 whenever the owner is ready for retirement. The owner is considering the following three alternatives: Sell the restaurant now and retire. Hire someone to manage the restaurant for the next year and retire. This will require the owner to spend $50,000 now, but will generate $100,000 in profit next year. In one year the owner will sell the restaurant. Scale back the restaurant's hours and ease into retirement over the next year. This will require the owner to spend $40,000 on expenses now, but will generate $75,000 in profit at the end of the year. In one year the owner will sell the restaurant. If the interest rate is 7%, compare the alternatives.arrow_forward3. Your favorite neighbor Poindexter learns you are pursuing an MBA and seeks your advice on how to finance his next vehicle. He has gathered information about each option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $26,500, and he expects to spend about $500 per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage value will be $10,500. Alternatively, Poindexter could lease the same vehicle for five years at a cost of $5,000 per year, including all maintenance. The lease payments are made at the beginning of each year. Assume a discount rate of 10%. o Provide an analysis for Poindexter at 10%. o Provide the same analysis for good old Poindexter assuming a rate of 5%.

- Can you give a detailed solution on letter D??arrow_forwardYou graduate and decide you will start a consulting business out of your home. To perform the basic analysis needed for your field, you need to purchase testing equipment. The seller has 2 prices, one for incorporated businesses ($25,000) and one for individuals ($20,000). The salvage value of this equipment after 4 years is predicted to be $10,000 in both cases. You and your partner are debating whether it is better to pay the higher purchase price and be able to depreciate the asset at a CCA rate of 30%, with the corporate tax rate of 40% OR to just keep them as a personal asset, with a sales tax rate of 10% at the time of sale. If we ignore the big picture arguments to be made here, what are the tax implications involved with each purchase/ sale option?arrow_forwardVictor hernandez Considers a Career Change Victor is somewhat satisfied with his sales career and has always wondered about a career as a teacher in a public school.

Victor expects that he could earn about the same income as a teacher. (a) What would his annual income be after 10 years as a teacher if he received an average 3 percent raise every year? (Hint: Use Appendix A.1.) (b) Victor also could earn $4,000 each year teaching during the summers.
