Balance Sheet and Net Income
DRAGON SOUP QUESTIONS – Professor Naughton Before our final class, please read the Dragon Soup case and analyze the associated Excel Sheet. Kerr had been given the task of valuing Dragon’s equity for a possible acquisition. He was told by his boss to assume a valuation of ten times sustainable earnings, plus the value of cash and marketable investments on the balance sheet. The Excel Sheet completes this calculation for you, based on inputs that are provided in the top portion of the “Assumptions and Statements” tab. In completing this task, you’ll need to address some accounting issues highlighted in the case. Kerr’s job is to try to unwind accounting choices that might provide transitory increases in Net Income, which would have the effect of overstating Net Income, and hence the value of Dragon Soup. The goal is to establish the true value of Dragon. This exercise is not intended to seek out especially high or especially low values. Within the case, there is no need to read the section on “Product Pricing, Production, and Promotion”. In addition, only skim the description of the tomato farm acquisition. We will discuss these issues in class. The spreadsheet asks you to make eight separate decisions, listed below. Please note that the “Notes to Accounts” tab is automatically updated based on your inputs in the “Assumptions and Statements” tab. For example, if you decide to accept Dunwoody’s guarantee, the footnotes are updated to include this guarantee in the description of Accounts Receivable. The eight items you choose are as follows (please note that items #2, #3 and #8 don’t require adjustment; just follow what is stated in bold). 1 Should Dragon Soup lease or purchase the new machine? (Cells D5-9 in Excel). The information on lease structure and financing structure is provided in the case. How do your choices affect Net Income? Why? What should be the regular price of soup (Cell C12 in Excel). Please set this price at $2. Should you run a promotion at the

    Chef's Toolkit

    Define the Issues Chef’s Toolkit has exhausted all of their financial resources trying to develop their product. The owner, Peter Jeffery, is seeking external investment to fund the launch of his product, and the potential investor, Dale Reid, has asked for projected financial statements for the company’s pessimistic, expected, and optimistic projected sales for the first year of operation ending July 30, 1995. Analyzing the Case Data Fragmented information was given in the case, along with a balance sheet and a production schedule for the expected sales of 10,000 units. There was no statement of cash flows, income statement or any information about their cash account or their accounts payable account. Generating Alternatives Dale Reid could choose to either invest $85,000 for 50% of the company, choose to invest more or less for a negotiated percentage of the company, or not invest in Chef’s Toolkit. The pessimistic projected sales is 5,000 units per month, totaling 60,000 units in the year. The expected amount of sales is 10,000 units, summing to 120,000 units per year. The optimistic projected sales is 30,000 units per month resulting in a total of 360,000 units sold in the year. In the optimistic option, a double mold is needed since the total required production exceeds the maximum amount for the single mold.
