Team 1 Members & Delegation • Nancy Macias Organization • Brian Myers Summarization • Eliseo Sanchez Research & Organization • Masis Haroian Techie
Scenario • A 30 year old person with a business degree has just inherited $300,000.00 and is considering opening a fast food franchise. The two franchises that are being considered are: • McDonald’s • Burger King
Analysis Assumptions • Life Span of 20 years (n = 20 years) • Same Resale Value at the end of 20 years • Equivalent Cost for Land and Building • Equivalent Average Annual Sales and Profit • Location, Volume, Size of Real Estate not taken in Consideration (no impact on the analysis) • MARR = 15% • Interest Rate = 10%
McDonald’s Fact Sheet • Initial Franchise Fee $45K • Equipment & Pre-Opening Costs $900K • Land & Building $1.0 million • (only if a new building has to be built) • Franchise Fee 12.5% • Annual Sales $1.3 million Annual Net Profit $500K • (after taxes, fees and other operating costs)
Burger King Fact Sheet • Initial Franchise Fee $50K • Equipment & Pre-Opening Costs $750K • Land & Building $1.0 million • (only if a new building has to be built) • Franchise Fee 8.5% • Annual Sales $1.3 million • Annual Net Profit $500K • (after taxes, fees and other operating costs)
McDonald’s 12.5% Franchise Fee $900,000.00 pre-opening costs Annual Costs $162,500.00 Burger King 8.5% Franchise Fee $750,000.00 pre-opening costs Annual Costs $110,500.00 Quick Comparison
Analysis Results & Conclusion Analysis Methods • Incremental Rate of Return Analysis ROR • Benefit to Cost Ratio • Annual Worth Analysis (note: all these methods will result in the same answer if used properly) (we primarily used ROR primarily to find the better choice) Results: • ROR = 35.8% • Since ROR>MARR, higher cost alternative is chosen, Burger King • B/C & AW Analysis confirm results
Sensitivity Analysis (1) Varying the Franchise Fee from 9.0% to 14.0%, Burger King still is a better alternative
Sensitivity Analysis (2) Varying annual profit from $300K to $700K
