Question
Chapter 8, Problem 9P
To determine
i.
Choice Table for interest rate from 0% to 100%.
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 9P
Till 13% interest rate, Combined stores are beneficial
From 13% to 100%, South end store is profitable.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Annual Profit = $370000
Leasing Period = 5 years
Expenditure on store fixtures = $1200000
Combined Profit = $560000.
Calculation:
Formula:
R is the net
i is the required
n are the number of periods during which the project is expected to operate and generate cash inflows.
For illustration, let’s assume that the interest rate is 1% and calculate the NPV for combined stores:
NPV =
| Year | Cash Flow from South end | Combined Cash Flow |
| 0 | 0 | -1200000 |
| 1 | 370000 | 560000 |
| 2 | 370000 | 560000 |
| 3 | 370000 | 560000 |
| 4 | 370000 | 560000 |
| 5 | 370000 | 1560000 |

Conclusion:
Till 13% interest rate, Combined stores are beneficial
From 13% to 100%, South end store is profitable.
To determine
ii.
Rate of return if North-end store is open.
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 9P
Rate of return is 13.28%.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Annual Profit = $370000
Leasing Period = 5 years
Expenditure on store fixtures = $1200000.
Combined Profit = $560000.
Calculation:
Return from North End − Here, we need to calculate the
Formula for IRR: 0 = -Initial Investment + [(Cash Inflow1)/(1+IRR)1] + [(Cash Inflow2)/(1+IRR)2] +
[(Cash Inflow3)/(1+IRR)3].....+ [(Cash Inflown)/(1+IRR)n]
Cash flow from North End from Year 1 to 4 =
Cash flow from North End in Year 5 =
Initial Investment = $1,200,000
IRR:
Conclusion:
IRR = 13.28%.
