After five years, you have built a strong restaurant business called BurritoGrande. You have six locations and each of them are doing well. Its time to expand. After thorough analysis you decide to open six new locations. You want them to be almost exactly the same, thereby reducing the design and build costs.

Your existing business generates $12millionin revenue, has cost of goods sold of approximately $8million, and operating expenses of $4.5million. The companys existing assets are fully depreciated. You believe the new locations will be able to generate $1.8million each in their first year, which will grow by 12% each year thereafter. Gross margins and operating margins are expected to be the same as the existing business.

Each new location will cost $2.3million to design and build and require an additional investment in working capital of $500,000. You plan to open two locations in year one. One in year two, and three and two in year four. You expect to sell the business at the end of year six at a 6x multiple of after tax cash flow.

The business has a tax rate of 36%, now that Biden is going to get elected. The companys WACC is 6.2%.
