Purpose: To determine the relevant cash flow impact for Misfitz over the next five years if the storefront is closed
Sales (1,176,000) Sales of $1,426,000 less the $250,000 which will continue to be earned over the holiday season
Variable expenses 588,000 Variable expenses are 50% of sales based on provided numbers
Contribution margin (588,000)
Advertising 14,000 $25,000 less increase to ice cream trucks advertising of $11,000 ($13,000 – $2,000 existing)
Rent 138,000 $150,000 – $12,000 for parking spaces
Utilities 16,500 $17,000 – $500 for holiday season
Salary and wages 150,000 $350,000 – $200,000 ($100,000 x 2 for each of the Pines)
Depreciation - Sunk cost
Decrease in cash flow before taxes (269,500)
Taxes 67,375 Assume 25% based on provided numbers
Net annual decrease in cash flow (202,125)
× 5 Five years
(1,010,625)
Residual value of equipment 20,000 Given
Five-year decrease in cash flow (990,625)
Conclusion: Over five years there would be a negative impact to cash of $990,625.
Alternative approach:
Purpose: To determine the relevant cash flow impact for Misfitz over the next five years if the storefront is closed
Operating income lost (116,000) Store closure results in loss of operating income related to store
Depreciation (non cash) (55,000) Sunk cost, not impacting yearly cash flow
Cash flow lost (171,000)
Incremental/new cash flows:
Advertising (11,000) Need to increase advertising for trucks by $11,000 ($13,000 – $2,000)
Parking lease (12,000) Need to rent two parking spots ($6,000 × 2)
Salary and wages (200,000) Continue to pay both owners a salary of $100,000
Winter event — Net margins 125,000 Trucks will cater this event for net cash flow of $125,000 (revenue $250,000 × 50% margin)
Winter event — Utilities (500) Incremental utilities incurred for event

Exhibit II
Storefront closure — Cash impact over next five years
Purpose: To determine the incremental cash flow of adding a new truck in Airdrie
Conclusion: Over five years, the truck could bring in between $713,000 and $977,375 in incremental cash flow.
Note 1:
Assume maintaining current pricing would result in a sales decline of 10%.
$940,000 sales for two trucks / 2 = $470,000 for one truck
$470,000 – 10% = $423,000
Assume increasing current pricing by 25% would see a sales decline of 20%.
$940,000 sales for two trucks / 2 = $470,000 for one truck
$470,000 + 25% – 20% = $470,000
Note 2:
At current pricing levels variable expenses are 50% of sales.
$423,000 × 50% = $211,500
At increased pricing levels variable expenses are 40% of sales (50%/1.25).
$470,000 × 40% = $188,000
Note 3: Assume 50% of revised advertising budget of $13,000 for the two trucks
Note 4: None, as will park at home
Note 5: $12,000 / 2 – 30% savings for energy efficiency
Note 6: Salaries are not a relevant cost, as the Pines will draw $200,000 whether or not they operate the trucks.
Note 7: Non-cash item
