Question

You are the owner of a book store and you are considering adding a coffee bar to your store. The cost of the expansion will be $ 1 million, and you expect to depreciate it over the coffee bar’s four year life, using straight line depreciation to an expected salvage value of $ 500,000 at the end of the fourth year. You will also borrow $ 400,000 from a bank, using a four year balloon-payment loan (only interest paid for four years, the principal is due at the end of the fourth year) with an interest rate of 10%. The coffee bar is expected to generate $ 500,000 in revenues in the first year, $ 600,000 in revenues in the second year, $ 550,000 in the third year and $ 500,000 in the fourth year. The expenses of operating the bar are expected to be 40% of revenues each year and the tax rate is 35%.

Estimate the return on equity on this investment each year for the next four years.
If your cost of equity is 12%, would you invest in this coffee bar.
If your cost of equity is 12%, estimate the net present value of this investment.
