| Summary |
This case follows a wholesale grocery distributor planning to develop newly acquired property into a large retail store. The wholesaler will build and finance the store for a given operator/buyer. At the time of the case, the buyer has not been identified nor has the type of retail grocery store been determined. Company management concurs that the site should either be developed into a conventional supermarket or a warehouse supermarket. The format determination will narrow the choice of potential buyers to either conventional store operators or warehouse store operators. Company management is under pressure to honor existing customer relationships and pursue a local warehouse store operator within their current customer base. But strategic considerations also motivate the company to pursue an external buyer of strategic importance. That potential buyer operates conventional stores. A comparison of the potential competitiveness of the conventional vs. warehouse formats for the site could greatly influence the pursuit of a specific buyer. Internal analysts are given the task of projecting and analysing master budgets, including income statements and balance sheets, to help assess which type of operation would be stronger in this site. Analysts have access to a data workbook containing sales forecasts under the two formats for the site and historical financial statements from comparable conventional and warehouse stores in the region. Analysts are required to decide how information should be incorporated into their budgets and justify their work to decision makers |
