1. Net present value and any relevant advice to management on salient issues to be considered
Net present value is calculated by subtracting present value of inflows from present value of outflows. Present value calculation requires a discount rate with which all the cash flows are discounted (Bierman, 2012, p. 3). In this case the discount rate is the weighted average cost of capital for the company which in this case is Katbuddys Confectionaries. Katbuddys Confectionaries uses both debt and equity mode of financing hence a weighted average cost of capital is most appropriate discount rate.
We will proceed with the calculation of NPV by first of all listing down the important cash inflows and outflows that will be used in the calculations.

Admission revenue from adults (including 5% raise)
Cash inflows and outflows for the project are calculated above keeping under consideration 5 percent raise for both receipts and costs. These cash flows have to be discounted at the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
Calculation of WACC
The Katbuddys WACC is calculated by
WACC = (Cost of debt x (1 - tax rate) x proportion of debt in overall capital structure) + (Cost of equity x proportion of equity ...
