Question

The investment committee of Granny’s Restaurants Inc. is evaluating two restaurant sites. The sites have different useful lives, but each requires an investment of $1,200,000. The estimated net cash flows from each site are as follows:

 

Net Cash Flows

Year

Helena

Butte

1

$375,000

$500,000

2

$375,000

$500,000

3

$375,000

$500,000

4

$375,000

$500,000

5

$375,000

 

6

$375,000

 

                                                               

The committee has selected a rate of 20% for purposes of net present value analysis. It also estimates that the residual value at the end of each restaurant’s useful life is $0, but at the end of the fourth year, Helena’s residual value would be $500,000.
