Great summary of the report. Through these careful analyses are team was able to come up with the following conclusions and recommendations: • Mindersoft is undervalued at Novak Biddle’s premoney valuation of $3M. • Based on our valuation of $11.17M using the Venture Capital Method, Mindersoft should renegotiate the deal with Novak Biddle for a 15.19% equity stake, if they would like to keep their investment amount at $2M. • If Novak Biddle is willing to make a $1M investment and Mindersoft is willing to give a slightly higher ownership stake, we might be able to reach a common ground. • Due to the fact that Mindersoft does not have full patents on products and time is of the essence, investment is needed as soon as possible.

Executive Summary The recommendation for Teletech Corporation is to change from a constant hurdle rate to the use of two risk-adjusted hurdle rates, one for each segment. Teletech’s performance is evaluated upon economic profit calculations. Through this performance measure, the risk-adjusted hurdle rates return a higher amount of profit in comparison to a single corporate hurdle rate: Currently, the firm has been using the constant hurdle rate of 9.30%, and as a result the firm’s share prices are stagnant. In comparison, the market and industry indexes such as telecommunications and telecommunication equipment have outperformed Teletech.

COMPUTRON RECOMMENDATION Mr. Zimmermann should submit a bid in the amount of $1,101,400 (refer to Appendix A). This bid price is competitive with EDAG, the primary competitor in the bidding process $1,091,200. The Computron bid removes all allocated costs for R&D (8%) and S&A (6%) which is comparable to the 15% European tariff that EDAG has used to undercut Computron in the past. Mr. Zimmermann believes that Computron can charge a premium over the EDAG bid since Computron provides a superior product in addition to the opportunity for Konig to avoid any switching costs associated with moving to a new computer manufacturer. RECOMMENDATION CONSIDERATIONS strategic position high quality computer manufacturer in terms of precision, dependability, flexibility, and ease of operation must be maintained consistent level of quality in the marketplace despite Konig’s invitation to bid with specifications that included machine dependability at a reasonable price.
