2016 =
2017 =
2018 =
2019 =
2020 =

NPV of 2016 - 2020 Cash Flows (assume a 12% discount rate) =

Part B. Estimate the fair market value (NPV) of SKS today.

Assume cost of capital after 2020 will continue to be 12% (counts 2 points)

Question 3. Becky sought to raise $7 million in private placement of equity in her early stage Internet Company. She projected net income of $18 million in year 5 and knew that comparable companies traded at a price range of 11 times earnings (i.e. multiple of 11). She approached Mr. Lee of Alliance Capital about an investment. What share of the company would Mr. Lee require today if his required rate of return (RRR) were 60%.

Question 4. Becky is the sole owner of her company and has 1,500,000 shares of stock at a .10/share par value. Continuing with Question 3, how many shares of stock will Mr. Lee receive for his $7 million investment.

Question 5.Continuing with Question 3, Mr. Lee expects that a future round of financing (likely in year 3) will be required to completely fund Becky's Internet company to exit. If he believes that to support this future round, an additional 20% of the company will have to be sold, what is the value of the retention ratio that he will demand to insure that his ownership interests are not diluted.
