French is asked to evaluate Archway’s profitability over the past five years relative to its two main competitors, which are located in different countries with significantly different tax structures.French begins by assessing Archway’s competitive position within the luxury electronic auto equipment industry using Porter’s five forces framework. A summary of French’s industry analysis is presented in Exhibit 1.

French notes that for the year just ended (2019), Archway’s cost of goods sold was 30% of sales. To forecast Archway’s income statement for 2020, French assumes that all companies in the industry will experience an inflation rate of 8% on the cost of goods sold. Exhibit 2 shows French’s forecasts relating to Archway’s price and volume changes.

Wright discusses with French how the terminal value estimate is sensitive to key assumptions about the company’s future prospects.
