In this exercise, we develop a model for the growth rate G, in thousands of dollars per year, in sales of a product as a function of the sales level s, in thousands of dollars.† The model assumes that there is a limit to the total amount of sales that can be attained. In this situation, we use the term unattained sales for the difference between this limit and the current sales level. For example, if we expect sales to grow to 4 thousand dollars in the long run, then 4 − s gives the unattained sales. The model states that the growth rate G is proportional to the product of the sales level s and the unattained sales. Assume that the constant of proportionality is 0.8 and that the sales grow to 2 thousand dollars in the long run.
(a) Find a formula for unattained sales.(b) Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G.G =

Consider a company that is projected to generate revenues of $104 million next year. Analysts expect revenues to grow at a 4.6% annual rate for the following two years (until the end of year 3) and then at a stable rate of 2.5% in perpetuity. If the company is expected to have a gross margin of 75%, operating margin of 35%, net margin of 25%, tax rate of 16.4%, and reinvestment rate of 34%, what is its expected free cash in four years from today? Answer in millions, rounded to one decimal place
You are a financial analyst, and you are tasked with calculating the expected return and standard deviation of returns for Kershaw Enterprises. Toward that end you are given the following data:

Based on your modelling of the economy, you think that in the next few months US GDP will evolve according to three basic scenarios: Scenario A: GDP will rise 3%. This will send the S&P ETF to 414. Scenario B: GDP will stagnate. S&P ETF will stay at 407. Scenario C: GDP will fall 2%. This will send the S&P ETF to 400. Question Compute the payoff and net payoff in the three scenarios above of a strategy made of two legs: Leg 1: a long straddle with maturity in February and strike 407. Leg 2: a short straddle with maturity in March and strike 407. Use the data in Table 2. Discuss why an investor might be interested in trading this strategy.

As a result, the firm projects growth of 20% per year for 4 years. By then, other firms will have copycat technology, competition will drive down profit margins, and the sustainable growth rate will fall to 5%. The most recent annual dividend was DIV0 = $1 per share. Compute the value of Better Mousetraps for assumed sustainable growth rates of 6% through 9%, in increments of .5% and compute the percentage change in the value of the firm for each 1 percentage point increase in the assumed final growth rate, g.

- You will apply the concepts of company valuation that you have just learned to determine whether company XYZ is overvalued. We are currently at the end of the year "t". You performed a thorough financial analysis of XYZ and forecast the following Free Cash Flows (FCF): Year t+1: 352 million USDYear t+2: 385 million USDYear t+3: 407 million USDFrom year t+3 onward, you expect the FCFs to grow at a constant yearly rate of 4%. Through your analysis, you also determined that the appropriate Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for XYZ was 11%. Finally, you know that XYZ has 1000 million USD in debt and 100 million shares outstanding.arrow_forwardDozier Corporation is a fast-growing supplier of office products. Analysts project the following FCF during the next 3 years, after which FCF is expected grow at a constant 8 percent. Dozier’s WACC = 13%. Time YEAR 1 2 3 4 FCF (million) 20 30 40 8% growth 1. What is Dozier’s terminal, or horizon value (value of operation at time 3 for constant part)? 2. What is the current value of operations (present value of all cash flow)?arrow_forwardGlobal 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).arrow_forward
