Frank White will retire in six years. He wants to open some type of small business operation that can be managed in the free time he has available from his regular occupation, but that can be closed easily when he retires. He is considering several investment alternatives, one of which is to open a laundromat. After careful study, Mr. White has determined the following:
a. Washers, dryers, and other equipment needed to open the laundromat would cost $183,000. In addition, $1,000 in working capital would be required to purchase an inventory of soap, bleaches, and related items and to provide change for change machines. (The soap, bleaches, and related items would be sold to customers at cost.) After six years, the working capital would be released for investment elsewhere.
b. The laundromat would charge $1.35 per use for the washers and $0.60 per use for the dryers. Mr. White expects the laundromat to gross $2,565 each week from the washers and $1,320 each week from the dryers.
c. The only variable costs in the laundromat would be 7A??1 cents per use for water and electricity for the washers and 9 cents per use for gas and electricity for the dryers.
d. Fixed costs would be $4,000 per month for rent, $2,500 per month for cleaning, and $1,975 per month for maintenance, insurance, and other items.
e. The equipment would have a 9% disposal value in six years.
Mr. White will not open the laundromat unless it provides at least a 10% return. (Ignore income taxes.)
1. Assuming that the laundromat would be open 52 weeks a year, compute the expected annual net cash receipts from its operation (gross cash receipts less cash disbursements). (Do not include the cost of the equipment, the working capital, or the salvage values in these computations.)
