With regard to the Kenmore Hotel development option, the managers
have projected the following:
• The hotel would have 200 rooms and be open 365 days a year. It would cost
$9,000,000 tobuild and $2,000,000 for FF & E.Land preparation would cost an
additional $220,000 and $40,000 for FF&E transportation and installation
respectively.
• The building and FF & E will be depreciated over the 25 years and 6 years respectively,
using the straight-line depreciation.
• Operating the hotel will require an investment in working capital of $120,000 (I0),
$200,000 for initial inventory purchase.
• All existing FF/E (OLD) can be sold for $100,000 which is recorded at $50,000 (book
value) if a new hotel project is ready to operate.
• At the end of the ten years, when the management plans to sell the hotel, the estimated
sales price will be approximated by assuming that the after-tax operating cash flow from
year ten onward will stay the same forever (that is, it will be a perpetuity). The present
value of these future after-tax operating cash flows at year ten will be equal to the fair
market value of the hotel. 6% of Brokerage fees (selling expense) will be applied for
this sales transaction.
• Demand forecasts for ROOM REVENUE indicate that room occupancy rates will be
75% for the first three years, 78% for the next five years (years four through eight),
and 80% in years nine and ten. The average daily room rate is expected to be $90.00
the first year and is expected to increase at a rate of 5% annually. Room operating
expenses are estimated to be 30% of room revenues for the first two years and 35% of
room revenues every year thereafter.
• Telephone sales are estimated to be 5% of room revenues. Telephone expenses are
estimated to be 70% of telephone revenues.
• Other operating revenue is expected to be earned at the rate of 1% of room revenues.
Other operating expenses are estimated to be 60% of other operating revenues.
• Administrative & general expenses are estimated to be 8% of totalsalesfor the first
year and this amount is expected to increase by 5% per year through year ten.
