1. Executive Summary (1 page) – Letter format addressed to individual/committee receiving the report (include a brief discussion of problem, highlights of analysis, and your recommended course of action). Note that information that is discussed here should also be included somewhere in write-up.

2. Table of Contents – sub-headings in the body of report, tables (display of numbers), other exhibits, bibliography and end-notes, appendix (page numbers)

3. Body of report (begin page numbering) – a)Review of Company, industry/Competition/Market segmentation, other Background, and Problem(s) identified, b) In-depth analysis of problem, and more recent developments since the case was written (if any), c)Pros and Cons of alternative options (w/ supporting analysis)based upon various scenarios and circumstances, and d)Specific optimal recommendation that flows from the analysis.

–Answer the following questions within body of report using helpful excel diagrams:

1. With three years left on the original Earnout Program (EP), what would you estimate as the present value of the future bonus payments? Assume that the 100% level for each bonus payment is expected to be paid each year for the remaining three years of the EP (years 2, 3, and 4). Also assume that earnings for year 2 are high enough to invoke the MBS, and use the 3-year government rate as the discount rate.

2. What would you estimate as the present value of the future payments under the revised EP? Again, you should use the 3-year government rate for all the cash flows and assume that earnings will exceed the 100% target level for each year. How does this number compare with your estimate from question 1?

3. How would your answer to question 1 change if the Multi-Year Bonus Schedule (MBS), effect occurred in year 4 rather than year 2?

4. Should the guaranteed cash flows be discounted at the same rate as the bonus payments? What discount rate would you recommend for the guaranteed payments? What discount rate would you recommend for the bonus payments?

5. How would your present-value calculations change for questions 1 and 2 if you used a 5.58% discount rate for the bonus payments and a 1.58% discount rate for the guaranteed payments? What arguments can you make to justify using two different discount rates?

6. As a CloneTech manager, would you vote to accept the revised EP as a “good-faith adjustment” to the original EP? Present a brief list of the reasons for your decision.
