CAPITAL BUDGETING CASE STUDY: Bridgehampton Shores Inn: Mutually Exclusive Project Comparison Finance 203 – Managerial Finance Dr. Anoop Rai Fall 2012 Capital Budgeting Case Study: Bridgehampton Shores Inn: Mutually Exclusive Spa Projects Introduction Bridgehampton Shores is an Inn located on the Eastern Inn of Long Island. It typically caters to families looking to vacation in the area and take advantage of all the East End has to offer. Currently, Bridgehampton Shores Inn has 10,000 square feet of available space for lease. Potentially, 1/5 of the available space will be used to build a pathway for connection purposes to their existing facilities and the remaining 4/5 …show more content…
Finally, in order to complete a more accurate comparison between the two projects, we utilized the EANPV as the deciding factor. Under current accepted financial practice, NPV is generally considered the most accurate method of predicting the performance of a potential project. The duration of the projects is different, one lasts four years and one lasts six years. To account for the variation in time frames for the projects and to further refine our selection we calculated the EANPV to compare performance on a yearly basis. One additional factor to consider was the cost of capital. Based on the information provided, Bridgehampton has enough cash on hand to finance the projects without seeking outside capital. As such we utilized both Jim’s and Isabel’s projected discount rates to assess the projects. In addition, we wanted to consider the affect obtaining outside capital would have on the project. The percentage of debt for Bridgehampton is currently 30% and the equity is 70%. Therefore we calculated the weighted average cost of capital and also used that rate to assess the projects. Since both projects are Spa’s we assumed there would be a similar risk profile assigned and use of the WACC as assessment tool would be warranted. Conversely, It seems that both the Suncoast lease and the internal Bridgehampton spa are non-typical projects for Bridgehampton and this could affect the accuracy of using

The organization I will be completing a needs assessment on is OneMain Financial. OneMain is a for profit consumer finance company that is currently owned by Citigroup, but is currently awaiting Federal approval to be sold to Springleaf Financial Services. The setting for the assessment will be six branches within District 01020402, or the Hart District as I will be referring to going forward. The branches are all in Kentucky, located in Bardstown, Elizabethtown, Shelbyville and three branches in Louisville. The assessment will specifically be on Coverages Per Loan (CPL). There are four coverages that make up CPL and its potential sales capacity. There is Involuntary Unemployment Protection (IUI), Disability Protection (AHL), Life Protection (Life) and Home and Auto Security Plan (H&A). Each plan has an eligibility guideline. For IUI you have to have worked the last 12 consecutive months at least 30 hours a week, be unemployed for 30 consecutive days and have to be eligible for state unemployment benefits. For AHL you have to be off of work 14 consecutive days and under a doctor’s care. There is a heath question for loans over five thousand dollars for specific heath treatments in the last five years and a 12 month pre-existing caveat for loans under five thousand dollars. The life protection is very similar to the AHL as far as heath questions are concerned and it will not pay if someone were to take their own life. H&A has 64 benefits and many of which, nothing bad has to
They have a very good balance between their debt financing and the assets they have on hand (dollartree.com, 2013). With a debt/equity ratio of 65.10% in 2013, this puts them in a good position for using the free cash flow they have to research and see what areas they could make improvements in. It seems that the most significant assets that Dollar Tree has is in their inventories. This is the largest part of their assets. They also have some intangible assets that account for about 35% of their total assets. The liabilities that Dollar Tree has are in the form of accounts payable. They do not have very much long term debt. Their long term debt accounts for less than 10% of the total liabilities.
Figure 16 displays the variance of apportionment payout rates in Rio Texas. Please note that these figures do not contain any additional contributions or supplemental funding by the conference to apportionments. Rather this figure contains only what the churches paid towards apportionments. Figure 16 shows the conference average payout rate of 94%. It seems that church size may not have an effect on this rate. Yet, Figures 15 and 16 do not relate to each other. Typically, higher payout rates correspond to higher amounts paid per attendee. In Rio Texas, payout rates are lowest in churches with fewer than 100 weekly attendees. Furthermore, Group 1,500+ has the lowest payout rates in the conference but pays about the same amount per attendee as Group 700-1,499. Furthermore, Group
The NPV profile shows the how sensitive the project’s NPV is to the cost of capital.

The four measures were net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), the payback period and increases in earnings per share (EPS). Other strategic factors must be considered that are not reflected in the financial tests. James Fawn and his ICG analyst team must decide which project is the best value for the short-term and the long-term. Utilizing these financial hurdles and contemplating other strategic factors, Victoria Chemicals will choose the project that will give the firm the most value.
The primary role of the research analysts is to study the publicly traded companies and pass recommendations based on their financial securities, future growth potentials, and profit generation potentials. These recommendations influence economic activities in the contemporary industries. For instance, such recommendations can affect stock prices, especially if they are broadcasted to a large population. People’s decisions to purchase a company’s stocks depend on the information that the research analysts provide regarding its securities and potentials. Renowned analysts can facilitate the rise or fall of stock prices of a given company just by a mere mention of its

Commerce bank has been a pioneer in the banking industry by reverting to customer service. This has driven customers to the bank, but in order to stay ahead on the curve they want to move away from the model that has worked for them. They should focus on the current model and enhance it, rather than change it.
