In the Excel templаte, use the "Vаluаtiоn" tab. Use the Spreadsheet titled “Pizza”. Yоu оwn a pizza shop and are considering introducing the innovative “upside down pizza”. It is messy, but tasty. If you move forward with this new menu item, you will only offer “upside down pizzas” for 5 years, after which you would shut the project down. You paid a consultant $2,000 to run several focus groups to determine if this was an idea your customers would like, and she said it demand would be strong. The new machine would cost $320,000, and you would depreciate it over 8 years to an accounting salvage value of $20,000. After the project is over (end of year 5) you believe you can sell the machine for $105,000 (sale proceeds before tax). Your restaurant is open all 365 days of the year, and you think you will sell 50 “upside down pizzas” on average per day for a price of $14 each in Year 1. You will raise your per-unit price by $1 per year until the end of the project (e.g., year 1 = $15, year 2 = $16, year 3 = $17, year 4 = $18, year 5 = $19) You believe that these “upside down pizzas” will decrease the sales of your regular pizzas (cannibalization). You believe this will reduce sales by 30 units per day. These pizzas sell for an average price of $10 each and cost on average $7 each; you anticipate this will remain constant for the entire project. The costs to prepare an “upside down pizza” is $8 per pizza. You need pay a specialist to operate the machine which will increase your fixed costs by $30,600 per year in salary. Your accounts receivable balance will be calculated as 15% of this year’s revenue dollars. Your inventory balance will be calculated as 10% of next year’s variable cost dollars. Your accounts payable balance will be calculated as 5% of this year’s variable cost dollars. Given the increase in volume of sales, you need an extra refrigerator. You have a spare unit on hand and plan to use it. If you sold it today, the market price would be $6,500 (before tax). It has a current book value of $3,000. It will be worthless at the end of the project. Your marginal tax rate is 21%. This project’s cost of capital (discount rate) is 11%. What is the NPV for this project? (Round to nearest dollar and format like $XXX,XXX with no leading 0's.; examples: $2,888,943, $28,282 or $2,828 or $-34,859).
Use the spreаdsheet titled "Sensitivity" tо cоmplete this prоblem. You hаve completed аn analysis on Shelfish and see that the NPV is less than $0, and the IRR is less than the cost of capital. Your first thought is not to do the project, but you know you are not sure about some of the inputs and want to do some testing. Test 1: You believe you can charge between $20 and $30 for the shelves. You also expect the variable cost per unit could range from $12.50 at the low end to $17.50 at the high end. In the spreadsheet, you will build a data table to test the model for these ranges. Remember that you want your audience to be able to easily understand your output, so format it accordingly. Test 2: The market researcher said the number of shelves sold could be as high as 12,000. You decide to do a breakeven analysis as to how many shelves you would have to sell to breakeven. Please copy your original spreadsheet and title the new sheet "Breakeven" and then do this analysis. Questions: What is the breakeven amount? Based upon all analysis, should you move forward with this project given your sensitivy? Why or why not (briefly)?
