Extracted text: Question 6 Sunshine Ltd. is a privately owned business in Brisbane that operates 100 fruit juice bars in Queensland. It achieved strong results last year, with record total sales of AUD 200 million. Its cost of goods sold (COGS) then was 70% and its owners have indicated that going forward, it will be able to maintain this level of COGS for any new shop that it plans to open. The strong results were down in large part to the company's aggressive marketing efforts. This marketing compaign cost the company a total of AUD 200,000 per year, which is shared equally among all of its juice bars. Currently, with the summer coming soon, Sunshine Ltd. is considering opening a new juice bar on UQ Refectory to cater specifically to UQ students and staff. This investment will cost a total of AUD 1.5 million to establish. Sunshine has estimated that it will be able to achieve the same sales revenue for the new bar and operate this bar for 5 years.
