The capital investment required for opening a new store is $1,500,000, covering shop-fitting and other equipment such as cash registers etc. Additional working capital of $75,000 is also needed. The fixed costs of running a new store are $90,000 in the first year while variable costs, including labour costs, are $120,000. Both fixed and variable costs are expected to grow in line with inflation at 2 percent p.a. Forecast sales are $780,000 in the first year but can be expected to grow by 5 percent p.a. Advertising is important to this type of business and will cost $60,000 per year. The capital investment is to be depreciated straight-line to zero. W.T. hopes to keep the store running for 10 years. The discount rate that your team believes should be applied to the cash flows is 12 percent. The taxation rate is 27.5 percent (because this is a small-medium business in Australia). All working capital is returned at the end of the project. You intend to tell W.T. the NPV and IRR for this project idea and advise him on whether or not the idea will create market value for him and his family who own and operate the stores.
