Question

Suppose a team operates in a stadium with 75,000 capacity and currently charges $85 per ticket, and plays 10 games a seasons to a sell out crowd. The proposal is to build a new stadium, at a cost of $600 million. Assume that construction would require $200 million to be spent immediately and $200 million each in years 1 and 2. If the new stadium is not built, the present value of extra maintenance costs for the old stadium is $200 million. The new stadium will reduce capacity to 55,000 and has a useful life of 25 years from completion.  Assume that additional capacity is sold out, that the ticket price is increased to $150.

With a discount rate of 5%, what is the net present value of the stadium investment if the new stadium ticket prices grow at 2% per year while in the old stadium ticket prices would grow at 1% per year ?

A) 99.05 million

B) 15.88 million

C) 125.42 million
