Scenario
You are the marketing analyst for Better Beans Coffee Company, which has nine stores nationwide. The company wants to build two additional stores. Your executive team has decided that rather than expand to new markets, they want Better Beans to begin opening additional stores in existing markets. While this will create cannibalization in the short term, it will create marketing and operating efficiencies as more stores are opened in each city.
As a scrappy and growing startup, Better Beans does not yet have access to complex marketing analytics software. Fortunately, you are an expert at gathering market data from inside and outside the company and crunching accurate numbers with nothing more than an Excel spreadsheet.
You have been tasked with calculating the two best markets for opening an additional store. You have already calculated two things that allow you to estimate the net additional revenue in each market ueafter adding a second store:
Revenue for a second store in each market
The revenue lost from estimated cannibalization at the first store.
Important note: Due to the high investments already made in existing stores, management has specified that any market where cannibalization is 25% or more should be eliminated from consideration.
Ignoring cannibalization rates for now, what two markets have the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store?
A. Dallas and Portland
B. Los Angeles and Orlando
C. Chicago and Dallas
D. Orlando and Dallas
E. Los Angeles and Portland
What two markets should be chosen for a second store based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 25%? Note: Cannibalization rates and net revenue increase amounts need to be considered when making this determination.

A consulting engineer has been engaged to advise a town how best to proceed with the construction of a 200,000 water supply reservoir. Since only 120,000 of storage will be required for the next 25 years, an alternative to building the full capacity now is to build the reservoir in two stages. Initially, the reservoir could be built with 120,000 of capacity and then, 25 years hence, the additional 80,000 of capacity could be added by increasing the height of the reservoir. Estimated costs are as follows construction cost, and annual maintenance cost, build in 2 stages first stage 120,000 reservoir $14'200,000 $75,000; second stage add 80,000 of capacity $120600,000 and $25,000 additional construction cost build in full capacity now 200,000 reservoir $22'400,000 and $100,000 if the interest is computed at 4%, which construction plan is preferred?
