Question

Answer should be on Excel spreadsheet

This is a “Fast Food” outlet that would expect

1,060 customers per day. The establishment would be open 365 days a year serving from 6am till 11pm. The land would cost $300,000. The building would be valued at $4,000,000 depreciated over 20 years and $500,000 for assets that would have to be upgraded after every six years at the cost of $600,000 each time. Operating Expenses per year are estimated to be $1,500,000. The pricing structure will generate a contribution margin per customer $5.

1. Analyze the data and using Net Present Value, Profitability Index, Internal Rate of Return (use Excel’s PV and IRR functions), and the Payback Method. Use a discount rate of 4% and a 33% tax rate.

Year 12

Year 18

Using (1 - Tax Rate) assuming debt financing

Total PV of Asset

-767233

NPV

-2380301

IRR is negative for the project, so using Modified IRR approach

MIRR = (FV of Sum of all cash Inflows/PV of Sum of Cash out flows)^1/20 – 1

MIRR = (234500*(1.04^20)/4,800,000+767233))^(1/20) - 1

MIRR = -11%

Profitability Index = 1 + NPV/Initial Investment = 1 + (-2380301/-5567233) = 1.42

Pay Back Period = Investment /Future Cash Inflows = -5567233/-2380301 = 23.4 years

Based on its values this is project not a good recommendation for investment.
