Scenario A for 3.2: Your café sells a popular light meal of 1 American-style hamburger and a beer.

Scenario B for 3.3: Your cost of capital is 5%. Your board wishes to make at least 100,000,000 USD within 5 years. $20,000,000 of the $30M expansion cost is machinery worth $2,000,000 residual value after 5 years. The cash flow income projections are $8,000,000 in Year 1, $18,000,000 in Year 2, $30,000,000 in Year 3, $44,000,000 in Year 4, $65,000,000 in Year 5. Should you go forward with the project?
Scenario C for 4.3. Go to Company A in Appendix A. The company has an opportunity to buy a competitor’s factory for 2,000,000 USD. With the new factory, revenues will increase by 2,000,000 USD, operating expenses will increase by 1,000,000 USD. The company has two choices for financing the expansion: 1) a private placement of 35,000 shares of stock for the 2,000,000 USD needed; 2) borrow 2,000,000 USD at their borrowing rate of 10%.

Tasks
