The estimates for the up-front renovation costs range from $2,250,000 to $2,650,000 to be depreciated over the life of the project using straight-line with a zero salvage value.

Sales are expected to grow at 5% per year and the estimates of the operating costs are as follows: 

Salaries for traditional store 25% of Sales 

Other operating expenses for traditional store 40% of Sales

Crisp Markets has a capital structure consisting of 30% debt and 70% equity. The debt consists of loans from the Long Island Bank with an interest rate of 7.2%. The cost of equity of the shareholders is 15%. The corporate tax rate is 35%. The financial management team suggests that you use a discount rate of 4% on the projects since that is the average interest rate we earn on the CDs with Long Island Bank.
