Capital Budgeting - 25 points You have decided that you would like to purchase at least one established franchise in the fast- foods area, maybe two (if profitable). You figure that your time frame is six years. After six years you will sell off your investment and go on to something else. You have narrowed your selection down to two choices; (1) Franchise A, Abdallah's Soups, Salads, & Stuff and (2) Franchise B, Bohua's Fabulous Fried Chicken. The net cash flows shown below include the price you would receive for selling the franchise in Year 6 and the forecast of how each franchise will do over the six-year period. Franchise A serves breakfast and lunch, while Franchise B serves only dinner, so it is possible for you to invest in both franchises. You see these franchises as perfect complements to one another: You could attract both the lunch and dinner crowds and the health conscious and not so health conscious crowds without the franchises directly competing against one another.
