Cup of Tea (CT) Since pursuing their IB Diploma in school, one of the fondest memories shared by Ruth and Cody was their CAS Project where they volunteered at a special educational needs school, working with young students. They learned the potential and abilities of these students. With their entrepreneurial mindset, they opened a café called Cup of Tea (CT). They are the main shareholders of CT, a private limited company, along with a few other family members. CT takes prides in its corporate social responsibility (CSR) and hires most of its baristas from graduates of the special educational needs school they volunteered at. However, CT faces a 60% fall in sales revenue so to improve the situation, Ruth and Cody are considering one of two options: Option 1: sell the café for $1m Option 2: renovate the premises at a cost of $500,000 in an attempt to attract more customers. If CT goes ahead with Option 2, it needs to decide whether to use bar tables in the café (which costs $100,000) or to include a patio (which costs $250,000), with the following forecasted outcomes: Success Failure Option 2 (Probability: 60%) (Probability: 40%) 2a. Include bar tables $2m $1.5m 2b. Include a patio $2.5m $2m Cup of Tea (CT) Since pursuing their IB Diploma in school, one of the fondest memories shared by Ruth and Cody was their CAS Project where they volunteered at a special educational needs school, working with young students.
