If we were able to look at Starbuck's estimate of future cash inflows associated with this investment, what do you think you would see:\ I. a single lump-sum cash in-flow at some point in the future;\ II. cash flows which reflect an annuity;\ III. cash flows which look like a perpetuity; or,\ IV. some combination of all of these?\ Please explain -- i.e., provide some rationale for your answer recognizing that all of us are making an educated guess about what benefits Starbucks is forecasting.
