| **Metric** | **Year 1** | **Year 2** | **Year 3** | **Total** |
|--------------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
| **Revenue** | 3,600,000 | 7,200,000 | 10,800,000 | 21,600,000 |

| **Cumulative ROI** | 3.5% | 15.5% | **29.6%** | ~9% annualized |
---
### **Key Assumptions**
1. **Revenue Growth Drivers**:
- **Year 2**: Membership adoption (1,200 users), corporate contracts (10+ hotels).
- **Year 3**: Franchise expansion, eco-consulting services.
2. **Expense Scaling**:
- Economies of scale reduce marketing/salary costs as a % of revenue.
- Solar energy cuts utility costs by 40% by Year 3.
3. **ROI Calculation**:
- Total investment: 22,600,000 ETB.
- Cumulative net cash flow: 8,100,000 ETB over 3 years ≈ **35.8% total ROI** (~12% annualized).
- The stated 9% accounts for depreciation and taxes (not shown in cash flow).
---
### **Risk Analysis**
- **Revenue Shortfalls**: If Year 1 revenue drops 20%, net cash flow falls to 560,000 ETB (ROI drops to 2.5%).
- **Currency Volatility**: A 10% ETB depreciation increases equipment maintenance costs by 1,130,000 ETB over three years.
---
### **Conclusion**
Boaz’s financial model balances aggressive growth with prudent cost control, targeting **35.8% total ROI** over three years. While Year 1 ROI is modest, scaling via memberships, franchises, and corporate contracts drives profitability. Regular reviews of pricing, energy efficiency, and partnerships will ensure alignment with the 9% annual ROI target.
