Guy Fieri has purchased a significant plot of land in Northwest Ohio for his newest venture: FlavorTownship. This hub for mind-boggling flavor and entertainment is a strictly for-profit operation. Guy would like to keep FlavorTownship open all year-round, but due to Ohio weather the following are the probabilities of when it will be open: - 30% chance it is open 300 days a year - 55% chance it is open 325 days a year - 15% chance it is open 350 days a year FlavorTownship will expect to host 14,000 people each day that it is open and expects an average revenue of $45 per visitor. This paradigm-shifting landmark will cost $420,000,000 to start the investment and will require annual costs (food, employees, etc.) of $115,000,000. Every 3 years, FlavorTownship will undergo necessary maintenance that will cost $22,000,000. If the expected life of FlavorTownship is 15 years and a 16% return is expected, what is the expected NPV of this project?

Ed argued that reporting guest depositsas revenue would inflate the current year’s income and may mislead investors. Ed’s boss then demanded that he include $2 million of unearned guest deposits in the computa-tion of income or be…

The Depot Restaurant has experienced growing sales, and management is looking to expand. They currently own a lot on Main Street, a good location for a restaurant, as indicated by a marketing survey. The survey cost was $20,000. The lot was purchased five years ago at a cost of $300,000. Today, the property could be sold for $560,000 because of the increase in real estate prices. The land will have to be cleared before a new restaurant can be built at a cost of $30,000. The company can then build a new restaurant at an estimated cost of $600,000. Finally, the management has recently allocated $100,000 in new executive salaries to the new store. What is the cost of this expansion project?
