You are the Vice President for Operations at Taquera Autntica, an authentic Mexican taco restaurant expanding quickly throughout Texas. The company wants to invest in corporate owned chains for five years, prove the market concepts, and then sell them off as franchises after they have demonstrated proof of concept to potential owners. You have spent some time looking at potential locations in Granbury and Stephenville. Based on the specific locations the start-up costs would be $739,833 for Granbury, and $958,716 for Stephenville. The business risk at each location would be similar to risks at the overall corporation, and should require a weighted average cost of capital of 14.19%. The company's CFO has restricted you to only one of these two locations (due to capital rationing). Calculate the net present value of both projects, and enter in the box below how much the value of the firm is expected to increase based on this capital budget (please enter the amount to the nearest penny). Granbury Stephenville Year 1 $18,753 $42,725 Year 2 $103,542 $24,316 Year 3 $67,734 $42,471 Year 4 $103,553 $66,804 Year 5 $1,617,101 $771,364
