The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying all 2.40 million of its outstanding shares at $17.60 per

share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $13.40 million, the fiber technology division for $8.30 million, and the synthetic products division for $24 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.40 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 2.40 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 10 times earnings per share.a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter your answer in millions, not dollars (e.g., $1,230,000 should be entered as "1.23").)b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 2.40 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 10)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter your answer in millions, not dollars (e.g., $1,230,000 should be entered as "1.23").)c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring? Use answers from parts a and b to determine this value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

When business writers request information or action that will likely be received positively, they should frontload their message
Scorpion4ik [409]
<span>This requires that the most significant or important statements be placed first, so as to make sure that the audience receives it before anything else. By doing this, the primacy effect will be experienced: the first information the listener or reader perceives will be what is remembered most. This means that the positive information will be remembered, and anything in the middle of the notice will likely be forgotten.</span>

II. Management must monitor operations after implementing a financial plan to detect deviations from the plan and adjust accordingly.
