Fatal Errors in Foundation: Allowing a “red” number to be saved, such as MTBF. Pricing lower than the variable cost or not making enough product for your contribution to cover your fixed costs. Round 3 cautions: Several competitors have new products coming out this year, which will take a little market share away from you. So remember to reduce your sales forecast – maybe by about 200 units.II. Working CapitalStock Price:- Book Value: (owner’s equity / # of shares).

Working CapitalDefinition: Working capital represents the extent to which a company can cover (pay off) its current liabilities with its current assets. Working capital (WC) = currents assets amount minus current liabilities amount. The higher the ratio the better. A lowWC ratio indicates that the company may have trouble meeting its current liabilities with the assets that are most easily converted to cash. A high WC ratio means a healthy company that could easily pay off its current obligations with current assets. Where do you find the working capital? On the balance sheet, where you can find current assets and current liabilities. - Cash has been depleted from last year: Where is it? It was eaten up by inventory – a result of poor sales forecasting or poor production planning.- Accounts payable increased: What happened? Partially offsets high inventory levels – it is like an interest free loan from suppliers.
