Master Decker Perform a business size-up of Master Decker by completing the following:

1. Analyze the expansion opportunities of service offerings – deck building, selling exclusive stains, and selling manufactured cleaning chemicals – from a qualitative strategic perspective.

2. Using the excel template file, identify which of the cash flows associated with the opportunity are relevant. If the cash flow item is relevant, identify if the item is recurring or a one-time cash flow.

3. Prepare a 1 year differential analysis to determine return on investment for each alternative. (Hint: if the cash flow item is relevant and recurring, it should be included in your analysis to determine incremental net cash flow. ROI would be your incremental net cash flow divided by your total of one-time cash flow items.)

4. Which expansion opportunity would you recommend? Explain.
