You are the owner of the local record store, and you are considering opening a coffee shop in a vacant area in the back of the store. You estimate that it will cost you $50,000 to set up the store and that you will generate $12,000 in after-tax cash flows for the life of the store (which is expected to be 8 years.) The one concern you have is that you have limited parking; by opening the coffee shop you run the risk of not having enough parking for customers who shop at your record store. You estimate that the lost sales would amount to $5,500 per year and that your after-tax operating margin on sales at the record store is 55%. If your discount rate is 10%, what is the NPV of opening the coffee shop?
