A new product will cost $750,000 to design, test prototypes, and set up for production. Net revenue the first year is projected to be $225,000. Marketing is unsure whether future year revenues will (a) increase by $25,000 per year as the product’s advantages become more widely known or (b) decrease by 10% per year due to competition. A third pattern of increasing by $25,000 for one year and then decreasing by 10% per year has been suggested as being more realistic. The firm evaluates projects with a 12% interest rate, and it believes that this product will have a 5-year life. Calculate the present worth and rate of return for each scenario.

Highlights include: Current assets of $6 million Current ratio of 2.0 Sales of $20 million Inventory turnover ratio (Sales/Inventory) of 6 The company's CFO is concerned about the forecasted inventory turnover ratio. Her goal is cut inventory enough to obtain an inventory turnover ratio of X, which is the industry average, while still maintaining sales at $20 million. If the company can accomplish this goal, the cash generated from the cut in inventories will be used to cut accounts payable. This will give the firm a Quick Ratio [(Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities] of 1.50. What is X, the desired inventory turnover ratio? Enter your answer, truncated to 2 decimal places. For example, enter 7.777 as 7.77.
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).
