CASE STUDY: Encore International

In the world of trendsetting fashion, instinct and marketing savvy are prerequisites to
success. Jordan Ellis had both. During 2019, his international casual-wear company, Encore,
rocketed to $300 million in sales after 10 years in business. His fashion line covered the young
woman from head to toe with hats, sweaters, dresses, blouses, skirts, pants, sweatshirts, socks, and
shoes. In Manhattan, there was an Encore shop every five or six blocks, each featuring a different
color. Some shops showed the entire line in mauve, and others featured it in canary yellow.
Encore had made it. The companys historical growth was so spectacular that no one could
have predicted it. However, securities analysts speculated that Encore could not keep up the pace.
They warned that competition is fierce in the fashion industry and that the firm might encounter
little or no growth in the future. They estimated that stockholders also should expect no growth in
future dividends.
Contrary to the conservative securities analysts, Jordan Ellis felt that the company could
maintain a constant annual growth rate in dividends per share of 6% in the future, or possibly 8%
for the next 2 years and 6% thereafter. Ellis based his estimates on an established long-term
expansion plan into European and Latin American markets. Venturing into these markets was
expected to cause the risk of the firm, as measured by the risk premium on its stock, to increase
immediately from 8.8% to 10%. Currently, the risk-free rate is 6%.
In preparing the long-term financial plan, Encores chief financial officer has assigned a
junior financial analyst, Marc Scott, to evaluate the firms current stock price. He has asked Marc
to consider the conservative predictions of the securities analysts and the aggressive predictions of
the company founder, Jordan Ellis. Marc has compiled these 2019 financial data to aid his analysis:
Data item 2019 value
Earnings per share (EPS) $6.25
Current Market Price per share of common stock $40.00
Book value of common stock equity $60,000,000
Total common shares outstanding 2,500,000
Common stock dividend per share $4.00
3 / 4
REQUIRED:
a. What is the firms current book value per share?
b. What is the firms current P/E ratio?
c. (1) What is the current required return for Encore stock? (Assume a beta of 1)
(2) What will be the new required return for Encore stock assuming that they expand into
European and Latin American markets as planned? (Assume a beta of 1)
d. If the securities analysts are correct and there is no growth in future dividends, what will be the
value per share of the Encore stock? (Note: Use the new required return on the companys stock
here.)
e. (1) If Jordan Elliss predictions are correct, what will be the value per share of Encore stock if
the firm maintains a constant annual 6% growth rate in future dividends? (Note: Continue
to use the new required return here.)
(2) If Jordan Elliss predictions are correct, what will be the value per share of Encore stock if
the firm maintains a constant annual 8% growth rate in dividends per share over the next 2
years and 6% thereafter? (Note: Continue to use the new required return here.)
f. Compare the current (2019) price of the stock and the stock values found in parts a, d, and e.
Discuss why these values may differ. Which valuation method do you believe most clearly
represents the true value of the Encore stock?

political problem and policy solution research paper

political problem: Political Problem: Suicide is a major cause of death in the united states, and it’s a problem that goes beyond one person, as it can have a long-lasting effect on communities. We have a significant disparity in how mental health is treated compared to physical conditions, as people with mental health issues do not have suitable care.

my policy solution; The government has to step in and create campaigns to raise awareness, mainly awareness of the sources available to help suicidal civilians. There are not effective and lowcost reachable services and sources of help, there needs to be a health insurance policy in which people with a mental health condition can have more accessible coverage.
