Over the past six months, Six Flags conducted a marketing study on improving their park experience. The study cost $3.00 million and the results suggested that Six Flags add a kid's only roller coaster.

Suppose that Six Flags decides to build a new roller coaster for the upcoming operating season. The depreciable equipment for the roller coaster will cost $50.00 million and an additional $5.00 million to install. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line over 20 years.

The marketing team at Six Flags expects the coaster to increase attendance at the park by 5%. This translates to 110,998.00 more visitors at an average ticket price of $39.00. Expenses for these visitors are about 10.00% of sales.

There is no impact on working capital. The average visitor spends $20.00 on park merchandise and concessions. The after-tax operating margin on these side effects is 35.00%. The tax rate facing the firm is 39.00%, while the cost of capital is 10.00%.
