The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying all 3.50 million of its outstanding shares at $22.50 per

share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $12.50 million, the fiber technology division for $7.75 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 $1.30 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 3.50 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 17 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 3.50 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 17)? (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.)

Answer:

Initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private = $78.75 million

Total value = $121.60 million

Percentage return = 54.41%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a)

Initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private = Price per share×no. of shares

= $22.50 × 3.50 million

= $78.75 million

b)

Total value = Sale proceeds + Current share value

= Sale proceeds +[(P ÷ E × EPS) × No. of shares]

= $12.50 million +$7.75 million +$24 million + [(17× $1.30) × 3.50 million]

= $44.25 million + $77.35 million

= $121.60 million

c)

Percentage return = ($121.60 million - $78.75 million) ÷ $78.75 million

= 0.5441

= 54.41%

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Authority - Responsibility Balance & Incentive Development.

Explanation:

Authority refers to the power to command, give orders to somebody. And enjoying the position of having right to get it obeyed.

Responsibility refers to being in a position of accountability, answerability for an allocated task or job & its performance.

For Eg : A manager  given responsibility to complete a task of production targets achievement, is also given authority to command the entire staff at the production site.

Joe had problem while working for someone else that :- he had responsibility to complete employers allocated task, but may be not given enough authority to do so, thats why he felt he is being 'commanded by, working for' someone else. Also, he doesn't owe the rewards of his acts, so lacks incentive.

Being an entrepreneur will entitle him with managerial responsibilities, but at the same time will also give him higher authority to take his own independent decisions. And, he is himself responsible for his acts, will bear losses or enjoy profits for himself. So, it also incentivises him to work for himself.
