Metrics WorksheetThis CapEx investment metrics worksheet
can be used to make an initial evaluation of a capital
expenditures project, using some simplifying assumptions. It
will allow the analyst to calculate investment metrics. In a real
world situation this work would be followed up with more
extensive analysis. This worksheet uses a five year planning
horizon. In capital budgeting analysis it is assumed that on
paper, the investment will be sold at the end of the planning
horizon, and that positive cash flows will be recovered from the
disposal of the working capital and fixed assets. Students
should enter data in the blue cells. The orange cells have
formulas and should not need to be edited. Project with uneven

Payback is achieved in the year when cumulative cash flow is
$0 or positive. The initial investment is a minus amount, and
the annual cash flow for years 1, 2, etc should be positive.
Please see the payback calculation example in the Week 4
online lesson.
Year 1 cumulative cash flow = the initial investment (minus) +
year 1 annual cash flow. Year 2 cumulative cash flow = year 1
cumulative cash flow + year 2 annual cash flow.
It is usually shown as year + decimal. For example, if
cumulative cash flow goes positive sometime during year 3,
then payback will be in 2.3 or 2.6 etc years.

1.0 Executive Summary

9. This is a budget proposal for a startup restaurant business. The
business will be operated out of a single location and will offer
Italian food consisting of pizza, pasta, meats and fish dishes.
The business will be named Papa Geo’s restaurant which will be
located in Orlando Florida. The target market for this business
is the middle and lower class families with children as well as
seniors seeking good Italian style food at value based pricing.
The location of the restaurant and the delicacies offered makes
it a perfect place for family dining and parties. The restaurant
will provide its services in form of buffet which will be formed
by pizza, pasta, salad bar, and soda. Additionally, the restaurant
will also have a gaming area and banquet hall that fits the needs
of children and adults. Papa Geo’s restaurant will also be
providing fresh food at value prices. The population of the place
where the restaurant is located gives it a chance to grow at a
fast rate thus obtaining maximum profits.
Pap Geo’s will be a single Italian restaurant that will start and
operate with a goal of generating an income of $40,000 at every
month that will include a sale profit of 12%. The restaurant
expects to have achieved its goal after a period of two years
after it starts operating. Because the restaurant will be an Italian
one, it will serve Italian foods of all types such as pizza, several
types of pastas that will have six types of sauces, six types of
pasta, pasta specialties, soup, desserts, and a self-serve soda
bar. A gaming area for children will also be part of the services
offered by the restaurant. This will help target middle and lower
middle class families with children looking for entertainment as
well as good food. This is why we have selected the current
location, because it has many families that are of middle class
spending habits and have children. There is also has no direct
competition in the area and along with the middle class
population growing at a rate of 6% per year the business has a
strong opportunity of successfully growing in the fast casual
food market. The restaurant has good Italian food that is pocket
friendly to every one of the target market and this should help

10. to ensure that our target customers keep coming back to the
restaurant.
The business will first focus on the registration of the company
as a limited liability company as per the filing regulations of
the Florida Secretary of State that also determines the fee
charges. Other budget costs will include;
Renovation of facility expected - $15,000
Insurance - $1000 annually
Health and employees benefits – 20% of manager’s and
assistant manager’s salaries
`There other costs that will be estimated especially through
research, for example the regular delivery of various materials
such as cooking ingredients, gaming machines, employee
payrolls, advertising costs, cutlery and service materials, and
delivery of soft drinks.
The cash budget to start the budget will come from own
personal fund but will also be granted some loan for the purpose
of initial start-up repayable within a period of 10years under the
current interest rates. Credit cards will be utilized on a daily
basis with 30 days of trade credit from the suppliers.
2.0 Sales Forecast
It is anticipated that the business will do well in terms of
sales in the next five financial years. The restaurant targets to
have 500,000 dollars in the fifth financial year which will be a

11. great achievement for the company. This big step can be
attributed to the fact that the company will be using some of the
best marketing strategies that are available. In addition, we
expect that customer loyalty will grow as we deliver the product
and service at a quality price.
2.1 Sales Forecast
During the second financial year, the sales are expected to rise
by about 50% due to the effective marketing strategies that will
be used. The marketing department will work day and night and
this will cause increasing sales since more people will get to
know about the dining experience we offer. In the third year,
word of mouth should be at its peak bringing more and more
customers to the restaurant. The last two years should show a
relatively low change in sales since the business will now be
operating at its optimal point resulting fewer new customers.
Also, the notable increase in sales in subsequent years can be
attributed to top quality services offered at the restaurant which
means that customers will be able to come back and enjoy the
services offered. This, as well as minor improvements that will
continue to enhance the customer experience.

2.2 Methods and Assumptions

12. The above mentioned figures have being arrived at after some
calculations as illustrated below
Year one 100000 dollars in sales
It is assumed that the percentage increase in sales for the first
one year will be 50%
Thus (150/100)*100000
=150000 this is the year 2 sales
Year two sales 150000 dollars
Assumed that there is 66.67% increase in sales
(166.67/100)*150000
= 250000 this is the year 3 sales
Year three sales 250000
Percentage increase in sale 60%
(160/100)*250000
400000 sales in year four
Year four sales 400000
Anticipated percentage increase in sale 25%
(125/100)*400000
500000 sales in year five
Year five sales 500000

The above table gives a gauge of the capital spending plan
required for Papa Geo's eatery. For everything, sources and
suppositions utilized are clarified towards the correct side of
the table. Other nonspecific presumptions past those as of now
said are given beneath:
• Miscellaneous cooking and taking care of gear cost will be
viewed as operational costs and won't be promoted given the
fleeting (not as much as a year) utilization of such resources.
Cutlery, drinking mugs and so forth would be considered to fall
into a similar classification
• The add up to cost of investment is considered as capital

16. consumption because of its long haul nature of utilization
• Any installations like lighting and so on are considered as
operational costs and won't be promoted
The aggregate capital spending plan required is US$ 48020.00.
Significant segment of this financial plan are redesign and gear
costs, which is valid for eatery organizations.
