liq [111]

Answer:

1. The major issue in the process is the lack of communication between different parties. The process being manually driven, might affect the customer satisfaction and lead to lost sales. The changes which need to be made is to make available the price information of different items at once, when the customer comes in to place an order. This can be made possible by asking the suppliers to send the updated sheet every morning before the day's business begins. It will be better if the entire uncatalogued as well as the price sheet is in electronic form, which can be updated immediately, as soon as the information is received from supplier in the morning. One better alternative is to connect the suppliers through an ERP so that their price might reflect at the company's end as soon as it is updated, It will reduce much hassle and mistakes that might creep in due to manual process.

2. a. The number of customers leaving per day / week to competitors due to inefficiency.

b. Total average delay in customer's order.

c. Customer satisfaction rating of the process as this will give the overall picture of customer's opinion about the company.

3. The information system might enable the suppliers to update their information each day which can then be used by the company reps to find out the right price of an item and enable him /her to provide the estimate immediately, leading to greater customer satisfaction, reducing the lost sales and eliminating the chances of a wrong quote being given.

Assume that today is December 31, 2019, and that the following information applies to Abner Airlines: After-tax operating income

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The company's stock price today should be $71.17 per share.

Explanation:

The corporate valuation model approach can be used to estimate this by using the following steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the free cash flow

Free cash flow is the cash a firm generates after accounting for capital expenditure. This can be estimated using the following formula:

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = After-tax operating income + Depreciation expenses - Capital expenditure

For this question, we therefore have:

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $700 + $150 - $375 = $475 million

Step 2: Calculation of Value of operations (Vo)

Vo = FCF / (WACC - FCF growth rate) = 475 / (11% - 7%) = $11,875 million

Step 3: Calculation of the Firm value

Firm value = Vo + Non-operating assets = $11,875 + $199 = $12,074 million

Step 4: Calculation of value of equity

Value of equity = Firm value - Debt = $12,074 - $3,534 = $8,540 million

Note: The correct amount of debt is $3,534 not $3.540 as mistakenly given, may be due to typographical error, in the question.

Step 5: Calculation of stock price per share today

Stock price per share = Value of equity / Number of shares outstanding = $8,540 / 120 = $71.17 per share

Therefore, the company's stock price today should be $71.17 per share.
