| Key Assumptions: Operating ratios remain unchanged from values in most recent year. Sales are expected to increase, 15%, 10%, 6%, and 6% during the next four years. The tax rate will remain at 25% and WACC is assumed to be 15% for all years. This data should be in a separate input table and referenced for the calculations when needed. This means you create an input table for the key assumptions data. |
