Suppose that Home Depot decides to add a coffee shop in the
middle of the store to encourage more browsing by customers. This
business will hire some additional employees, but analysts believe
the coffee shop will require the store general manager to work 15
more hours per week. This will increase the general manager’s
salary by $15,375.00 per year. Home Depot has a 38.00% tax rate, a
12.00% cost of capital, and is evaluating this project over a
3.00-year period. What is the net opportunity cost to adding the
coffee shop? (HINT: Value the extra gain in the manager’s salary.
EXPRESS as a positive number)
