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%

Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + $238,392 + $3,030

Plane Operating Cost = $281,612

So, the plane operating costs in the planning budget for August would be $281,612

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Option A; INCREASED COMPETITION FROM IMITATORS.

Explanation:

Innovation occurs only when something is entirely new, having never been done before. Innovation also exist when something which may have been done elsewhere is done for the first time in a given industry.

On the other hand, when other competitors in the same industry subsequently copy the innovator, even though it is something new for them, then it is imitation.

When a company comes out with a new product, its competitors typically go on the defensive, doing whatever they can to reduce the odds that the offering will eat into their sales. Responses might include: cranking up marketing efforts, offering discounts to channel partners and even lobbying for regulations that would hinder the rival's expansion.

Therefore, Lilypad's managers should prepare for INCREASED COMPETITION FROM IMITATORS next.
