Re: Valuation of Potential Karaoke Pub Projects

Thank you for retaining AaBCD Consulting in the valuation of your future capital improvement project. There are two mutually exclusive capital improvement projects under consideration: lease under-utilized space to an unrelated third party, Planet Karaoke Pub, or invest greater capital to open and manage your own nightclub, Beach Karaoke Pub. Using the predominant valuation methods, we have analyzed the relevant quantitative and qualitative data over their useful lives. In our assessment, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each approach as well as their relative weights in determining the financial viability of each project. There are three underlying assumptions driving our calculations: 1) a 10.75% discount rate, 2) a 10% guest room erosion rate, and 3) the omission of irrelevant staffing costs (16% of sales) due to long-term salary contracts. We have determined that while both options are profitable, Beach is more so. However, before a final decision is made, more research into the qualitative aspects of these undertakings needs to be done; community footprint impacts and room revenue erosion rates must also be examined in more detail.

Relevant Economic Benefits (1)
In order to assess the viability of each project we must first determine the initial outlays and the relevant cash flows, assigning an appropriate discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital. Taking the weight of equity (75%), the cost of equity (12%), the cost of debt (10%) and the corporate tax rate (30%), we have calculated and recommend a discount rate of 10.75%, which is much higher than the initial 5% estimated by Mr. Manming. From the initial outlays of both projects, we see a benefit of choosing the third-party project, Planet Karaoke. The initial investment in renovation of

    ABSTRACT: The ALLTEL Pavilion case is intended for the undergraduate management accounting or cost accounting course and the M.B.A. management accounting course. It provides an excellent context in which to examine strategic issues in using cost volume profit (CVP) in a service business. Based on an actual entertainment pavilion, the case develops many factors unique to a service business and illustrates how pavilion management can use CVP analysis to determine which artists to attract and what kinds of contracts to have with these performers. The Pavilion has two types of customers (paying ticket holders and free ticket holders) and earns profits from three types of revenues (ticket revenues, concession revenues, and parking fees). The case requires you to identify the best strategy for different types of artists, conduct cost-volume-profit analyses, consider the strategic issues related to operating leverage and how this affects the choice of performer and contract, and assess pricing strategies.…

    By assuming the project is all-equity financed, the cost of equity (un-levered cost of capital) should be used as the discount rate in order to calculate the NPV of the project, because the cost of the asset will equal to the cost of equity in regardless of the capital structure. Given the information on comparable firm asset betas, a risk free rate and a market risk premium, the cost of capital is calculated as 15.8% based on the CAPM method.( rA = rE = rf + β*r(MP), rA = rE =5.0% + 1.50(7.2%) = 15.8%) Based on all the results and assumptions, the NPV of the project assuming all-equity financed turned out to be $1,228.49 (in thousands of dollars), as is calculated below in Exhibit 2.…

    The valuation of the firm starts in year 1980. The 48% marginal tax rate was given. In order to finance the project we have decided to issue $7,000,000 worth of 12-year maturity Industrial Revenue bonds to fund the investment in property, plant and equipment. We have decided to use discounted cash flow analysis as our valuation method. From two inflation choices provided, we picked an inflation of 0% as we strongly believe that using 11% inflation would add an additional uncertainty to our analysis, exposing our project to even larger assumption of costs and revenue. As for our cost of capital we assume the rate of 16% that is the cost of financing debt. For the depreciation and amortization we have used the numbers given in Exhibit 6, along with pounds of shrimp sold and price per pound.…

    Target Case

    Target’s Capital Expenditure Committee, consisting of five top level executives responsible for reviewing all large capital project requests, is currently considering 5 projects to add value to the corporation. Their overall goal is to add 100 stores a year, while maintaining a positive brand image and watching budget constraints. If the CEC rejects a proposal there are large financial and emotional sunk costs, due to the long development process. Each project is evaluated in terms of its quantitative, qualitative, and strategic parameters. In calculating the NPV of these projects, Target uses two hurdle rates, 9% and 4% for the store operations and credit-card cash flows respectively, due to the different costs of capital. Funding credit card receivables requires less risk than funding store operations because credit cards do not require many fixed assets and are only issued to individuals with suitable credit history. We have analyzed each project, ranked them according to value(best to worst i.e. 1 to 5), and made a recommendation to accept/reject each one.…

    Star Appliance is looking to expand their product line and is considering three different projects: dishwashers, garbage disposals, and trash compactors. We want to determine which project would be worth doing by determining if they will add value to Star. Thus, the project(s) that will add the most value to Star Appliance will be worth pursuing. The current hurdle rate of 10% should be re-evaluated by finding the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Then by forecasting the cash flows of each project and discounting them by the WACC to find the net present value, or by solving for the internal rate of return, we should be able to see which projects Star should undertake.…

    The cofounders of Compass Records, a small, independent music recording company, must decide whether to produce and own the next album of an up-and-coming folk musician, or simply license her finished recording. The case presents information sufficient to build cash flow forecasts for either investment alternative. The task for the students is to build a valuation model for the two capital investment alternatives, whereby they can evaluate the attractiveness of the investment based on net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR) of the discounted cash flows (DCF). Further, the student will have the opportunity to interpret those results and to test those measures’ sensitivity to variability in the base case.…
