myretaildvd store is in serious financial trouble. they reported an operating loss of ($5 million) for the most recent year on revenue of $20 million. myretaildvd store has hired you to help improve the valuation of the company so that 90-year old owner can sell the company. you have found that you can close one of the worst performing stores (the lease is up for renewal now) and make a few other changes that will help the owner retire with some money from the business.

After closing the one store,

you estimate next year revenue will drop to $15 million but the operating loss

after tax will also drop to ($1 million). After that, you believe that

company's revenues (with the deal with a major DVD supplier that you helped

identify) will increase by 5% in year 2, 4% in year 3 and 3% in year 4 and

forever 5%. You have analyzed the operating assets of the company and believe

no further investments will be needed. The store that is closing has net $0 in

net operating assets. The company uses Square to process credit cards, and

expenses to upgrade that system in the future will be minimal. You estimate

WACC to be 11%. The company has no net non operating assets or non operating

liabilities.
