Calculate the after-tax cash flows during the life of the project.

Be sure to identify the total costs of ownership and deduct those costs from the benefits to arrive at the net cash inflow per year. CEO of ACH, wants you to evaluate the investment proposals that the company is considering:

investment 2. The re-development of coffee shops to accommodate the selling of frozen yogurt.

investment 2 Re-development of Coffee Shops Ms. Matthews also wants you to evaluate the potential of developing several hundred stores into new store models with frozen yogurt services. Five hundred stores have been selected as candidates for development. It will cost $80,000 to convert each store, including modifications to refrigeration equipment, with these costs being capitalized with a 6% applicable CCA rate. The average modified coffee shop is expected to generate an additional $30,000 in after-tax cash flow every year. However, ACH is also estimated to lose about $15,000 in annual after-tax cash flow from these cafs, due to yogurt sales cannibalizing existing coffee shops. In other words, some customers who normally would have purchased coffee would instead purchase yogurt. The five hundred stores have average annual rent of $36,000 each. Ms. Matthews wants you to evaluate the profitability of this investment after a seven year period, using the investment criteria of NPV and profitability index.
