Ratio Analysis at S & S Air, Inc.
Chris Guthrie was recently hired by S&S Air, Inc., to assist the
company with its financial planning and to evaluate the company's
performance. Chris graduated from college five years
ago with a finance degree. He has been employed in the finance
department of a Fortune 500 company since then.

S&S Air was founded 10 years ago by friends Mark
Sexton and Todd Story. The company has manufactured and
sold light airplanes over this period, and the company's products
have received high reviews for safety and reliability. The
company has a niche market in that it sells primarily to ind~
viduals who own and fly their-own airplanes. The company
has two models; the Birdie, which sells for $53,000, and the
Eagle, which sells for $78,000.

Although the company manufactures aircraft, its operations
are different from commercial aircraft companies. S&S
Air builds aircraft to order. By using prefabricated parts, the
company can complete the manufacture of an airplane in only
five weeks. The company also receives a deposit on each
order, as well as another partial payment before the order is
complete. In contrast, a commercial airplane may take one
and one-half to two years to manufacture once the order is
placed.

Mark and Todd have provided the following financial
statements. Chris has gathered the industry ratios for the light
airplane manufacturing industry.

Kuehner estimates that it can lease Parker Road Plaza for $19.00 per square foot (GLA) base rent with a 3 percent overage on gross sales in excess of $200 per square foot (GLA). The company expects rents to increase by 5 percent per year during the lease period and tenant reimbursements to run $8 per square foot (GLA) and to increase at the same rate as rents. Kuehner expects to have the shopping center 70 percent leased during the first year of operation After that, vacancies should average about 5 percent per year. The vacancy losses should be cal-culated on the entire gross potential income, which includes minimum rents, percentage rents and tenant reimbursements. Sales, which are expected to average $220 per square foot (GLA) for the first year of operation, should grow at 6 percent per year. The operating expenses are expected to average $14 per square foot of GLA for the first year and will increase at the same rate as the rents. Kuehner will collect an additional 5 percent of EGI as an annual management fee. The final sales price is expected to be $19.9 million and Kuehner will incur sales expenses of 2 percent. Two schedules provide necessary information about this phase of the project:

1. What cash flows would Kuehner Development Co. earn before and after taxes for Parker Road Plaza if it were operated for five years (assuming the marginal tax rate to be 35% for ordinary income, 20% capital gains, and 25% for depreciation recapture)?

2. What cash flows will Kuehner realize before and after taxes from the sale of the project after five years?

3. Assuming that Kuehner's before-tax required rate of return is 16 percent, should the company develop Parker Road Plaza? Also determine BTNPV and BTIRR.
