At an output level of 76,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 3.3. The output rises to 81,000 units. What will the percentage change in operating cash flow be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Will the new level of operating leverage be higher or lower?

Global Harmonic Control Systems (GHCS) forecasts its Revenues, to be $500 million in one year. The Revenue is expected to grow at 10 percent per year for the two years and then grow at 8 percent per year for the next two years, and 6 percent per year after that. All Expenses including depreciation are 60 percent of revenues. Net investment, including net working capital and capital spending less depreciation, is 10 percent of revenues. Since all costs are proportional to revenues, net cash flow (sometimes referred to as free cash flow) grows at the same rate as do revenues. GHCS is an all-equity firm with 12 million shares outstanding. A discount rate of 16 percent is appropriate for a firm of GHCS’s risk. Assume tax rate as 40%. Compute for the Price per share of Global Harmonic Control Systems (GHCS).

The managers of a company are considering an investment with the following estimated cash flows. MARR is 15% per year. The company is inclined to make the investment; however, the managers are nervous because all of the cash flows and the useful life are approximate values. The capital investment is known to be within ±5%. Annual expenses are known to be within ±10%. The annual revenue, market value, and useful life estimates are known to be within ±20%. Solve, a. Analyze the sensitivity of PW to changes in each estimate individually.Based on your results,make a recommendation regarding whether or not they should proceed with this project. Graph your results for presentation to management.b.The company can perform market research and/or collect more data to improve the accuracy of these estimates. Rank these variables by ordering them in accordance with the need for more accurate estimates (from highest need to lowest need).
