Susan Jones has a job as a pharmacist earning $55,000 per year, and she is deciding whether to take another job as the manager of another pharmacy for $65,000 per year or to purchase a pharmacy that generates revenue of $250,000 per year. To purchase the pharmacy, Susan would have to use her $15,000 savings and borrow another $80,000 at an interest rate of 10 percent per year. The pharmacy that Susan is contemplating purchasing has additional expenses of $85,000 for prescription non-prescription drugs and lines of women's and men's personal hygiene products and cosmetics, $40,000 for one full time person and $20,000 for one part time person, $12,000 for rent and $2500 for electricity and $1300 for natural gas, $1200 for telecommunications. Depreciation and amortization expenses are $5500. Assume that income and business taxes are 35% and the repayment of the principal of the loan does not start before three years. Also assume that revenue is expected to grow at 4% per year and expenses at 3% per year over the three years. Also assume that the interest rate on a 3-year U.S. Treasury bond is 3%. Susan expects to sell the pharmacy at the end of three years for $45,000 more than the price she paid for it and that she requires a 14 percent return on his investment. What is her expected Economic Value Added for each of the three years?
