Explanation / Answer
Using the information provided above
1. How should the presentation for the investors’ conference discuss the firm’s growth and historical cost of capital?
Exibit 2 clearly shows that the sales, income and Earning per share , all the three are consistenly on the rise year on year basis since 1994. There is not a single instance during the ten years (1994 to 2003) for decrease either in sales or income or EPS. Therefore investors are sure to get fair return on their investments in the company.
Year on Year basis percentage increases for the three parameters are mentioned as follows:
2. How are historical costs relevant when discussing future investment?
Historical costs are relevant because they can give the likely future trend and or future forecasts for the costs which ultimately get reflected in the profit/income statements relevant to the investors. Future investment is based on the projection of future profits and the likely returns in terms of share values, dividends, earning per share and repayments of loans with interest.
3. What other information should Matt have on hand for presentation to the conference? What type of questions would investors likely ask him? How will new investors likely impact Eva Spade’s choices of capital and strategy in the future?
The other relevant information is with respect to quality and quantities of various types of assets and liabilities at the disposal of the company. The type of technological developments made by the company alongwith the adoption of most modern and advanced technology giving an advantageous position among the competitors needs to be highlighted. As mentioned in the question, Eva Spade's options available with respect to capital in terms of equity and debts may be focused during discussions with the investors keeping in view their participation in the equity and short-term and or long-term (loans/debt) financiars.
Contents of Exibit1 and Exibit 3 needs to be explained as per required by investors to meet their requirements/ expectations in returns to their investments in the company.
