Abstract

This case is a comparative analysis of the strategy, accounting, performance, and valuation for two restaurant chains alternatively having a company-owned versus franchising strategy. It requires students to identify these two different strategies, and the related impact on the financial statements, assessment of current performance, and choice of comparable firms and prediction of future performance to perform the valuation.
