A quaint but well-established coffee shop, the Hot New Café, wants to build a new café for increased capacity. It’s expected sales are $800,000 for the first 5 years. Direct costs including labor and materials will be 50% of sales. Indirect costs are estimated at $100,000 a year. The cost of the building for the new cafe will be a total of $750,000, which will be depreciated straight line over the next 5 years. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 37%, and its cost of capital is 12%.

For this assignment, you need to develop a capital budget. It is important to know what the café managers should consider within their capital budget. You must also define the key terms necessary to understand capital budgeting. In this assignment, please show all work, including formulae and calculations used to arrive at financial values. You must answer the following:

  • Using the information in the assignment description:
    • Prepare a capital budget for the Hot New Café with the net cash flows for this project over a 5-year period.
    • Calculate the payback period (P/B) and the net present value (NPV) for the project.
    • Answer the following questions based on your P/B and NPV calculations:
      • Do you think the project should be accepted? Why?
      • Define and describe Net Present Value (NPV) as it pertains to the new café.
      • Define payback period. Assume the company has a P/B (payback) policy of not accepting projects with life of over 3 years. Do you think the project should be accepted? Why?

Your submitted assignment (125 points) must include the following:

 

  • A double-spaced Word document of 1–2 pages that contains answers to the word questions.
  • You must include a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for your calculations.
  • Either the Word document or the Excel spreadsheet must have all of your calculation values, your complete calculations, any formulae that you used, the sources you wish to cite, and your answers to the questions listed in the assignment guidelines.

 

 

 

 

 
Here are the rows for the Operating Cash Flow spreadsheet, and the columns are years 1 to 5:

YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3 YEAR 4 YEAR 5
Sales Revenue
– DIRECT EXPENSES (50%)
– INDIRECT EXPENSES
GROSS INCOME TOTAL
– Depreciation expenses
Tax base TOTAL (before taxes)
– taxes at 37%
After Tax TOTAL
+ Depreciation recovery
OPERATING NET CASH FLOW
 
 
Big hint:

USE THE COST OF CAPITAL PERCENTAGE ONLY TO DETERMINE WHICH PRESENT VALUE INTEREST FACTOR TO USE.
 
Then we do a NPV calculation which is:
 
NPV = initial investment + PV value of the cash flow
 
 
PAYBACK APPROACH FOR THE HOMEWORK:
 
FIRST PUT A COLUMN WITH YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT, AND THEN SUBTRACT EACH YEAR’S NET CASH FLOWS TO DETERMINE WHEN YOU BREAK EVEN.
 
INITIAL INVESTMENT
NET CASH FLOWS NUMERICAL VALUE:
 
YEAR 1 INITIAL INV – NET CASH FLOW
YEAR 2
YEAR 3
YEAR 4
YEAR 5

Francine Washington recently assumed her new position as HR Director at NetBell, a call center organization with approximately 250 employees.  Her staff includes a compensations specialist and a generalist who acts as Assistant Director.  During her first weeks on the job, Francine has noted some issues that seem to be embedded in the organization’s culture: call center workers do not have a career plan or a performance management plan, their compensation is determined simply by the number of hours they are logged in; most employees are hired through word of mouth (one employee refers another); and lastly, customers are complaining that it takes too long to reach a customer service person, and the Assistant Director has been arguing that they need to hire more employees.

The CEO does not agree, and has tasked Francie with developing a plan that will analyze work performance and determine what needs to be done to effectively increase performance, instead of hiring new employees. She needs to provide a strategic recommendation to the CEO.

  1. Identify the two main issues or potential problems Francine is likely to face as HR Director.
  2. For each issue, identify the complexities or difficulties that Francine will have to address.
  3. Identify at least two alternative solutions to each issue that Francine can present to the CEO.
  4. Support your alternatives with at least three scholarly sources outside the classroom materials, no older than 3 years. You may use academic journals, industry or business journals, or industry and bsuiness Websites.
