Now he needs to decide what kind of restaurant to open. Recently, Jonathan began to investigate one of the fastest-growing fast-food franchises in the country, Pepper Roni Pizza.

The building would cost an estimated $1,080,000 and would have a $120,000 salvage value at the end of its 15-year life. The restaurant equipment (fryers, steam tables, booths, counters) is sold as a package by the corporate office at a cost of $480,000, will have a salvage value of $24,000 at the end of its five-year life, and must be replaced every five years. Jonathan estimates the annual revenue from a Pepper Roni Pizza franchise at $2,280,000. Food costs typically run 36% of revenue.
