You own a bagel bakery and have determined that it might be a good time to expand. The corporate tax rate is 21% and the firm's weighted average cost of capital is 12%. There is an opportunity for expansion in a prime commercial storefront. Preparing the store to open will cost $30,000. This includes all equipment (all capital expenditures). You will need to increase your inventory by $15,000 and your accounts payable by $5,000 immediately. You anticipate $33,000 a month of sales the first year, $35,000 in sales the second year, and $40,000 of monthly sales the third and fourth years. After the 4^thyear, you anticipate closing the store. You have no firm plans for further expansion currently, however, you are certain that you will close this store after 4 years. Costs of goods sold will be 45% of sales. Also, you will have SG&A expenses (except for depreciation) of $10,000 per month. Your equipment will be depreciated on a 10-year straight-line basis. You will sell your equipment for an estimated $15,000 when you close your store and return your inventory and accounts payable back to pre-project levels.
