Answer 10
While investing in any project, everyone wants to analyse the worth of investing the same. Is it
providing the adequate return on the investment? Adequate will refer to the return should be
greater than the risk free rate of return. Also we have to consider the return a particular industry is
giving. Also along with return one should also consider the NPV of a project which shows how much
a cash flows will accrue at the end of the project. Whether a person will be having something in
hand after completion of project. As per the above calculation and analysis, it can be suggested that
Tien should invest in Pizza Franchise as its NPV is coming out as positive. Even after investing huge
amount, he will earn something.

Answer 11
Before investing a person should consider all the pros and cons of a project. After deriving so many
data above now we can analyse what are the major components that are in favour of investing on
pizza franchise. Below are the major points of investing in pizza franchise:
1. First of all, increasing demand of the pizza made it an attractive proposal as as there will be
increase in demand, increase in sales and ultimately will increase the profit of the Company
or the person investing in a particular business.
2. Secondly, after drafting the 4 years income statement, it can be seen that fixed expenses will
remain constant and also there is an increase in 10% sales every year which is a good sign for
investing in a particular business.
3. Also, we have calculated, number of units per week which are required to achieve 20%
return on the capital invested after recovering all the fixed costs. Per week sale units are
greater than the required return which also motivates one person to invest in a Company.
4. Also, as a thumb rule, EBITDA should be 33% of capital invested and as per calculation, it can
be seen that EBITDA is 35% of Capital invested in first year and after that it keeps on
increasing which also motivates a person to invest in this business.
Answer 12
In above answer we have stated the points which supports the investment decisions but there will
be some points which should be considered in a sarcastic way so that both pros and cons can be
analysed.
1. It is only an assumption that demand of pizzas will increase in future but it may be possible
that same thing happen in other way. If there is change in taste and preferences of customer
than one has to face losses as the sales will go down and will not be able to achieve the
targets on the basis of which investment is made.
2. While investing in a particular thing, one should consider other prospects of investment
options. If investing in other prospects may achieve more return than we have to choose
that particular option.
3. Other things that needs to be considered are the working environment in which a person
can work.
