Kenneth Cole (KCP) had sales of $529.3 million in 2005. Based on KCP's past profitability and investment needs, you expect EBIT to be 9% of sales, increases in net working capital requirements to be 10% of any increase in sales, and net investment (capital expenditures in excess of depreciation) to be 8% of any increase in sales. KCP has $98.4 million in cash, $3.1 million in debt, 21.1 million shares outstanding, a tax rate of 37%, and a weighted average cost of capital of 11%. a. Suppose you believe KCP's initial revenue growth rate will be between 4% and 11%* (*with growth slowing in equal steps to 4% by year 2011). What range of share prices for KCP is consistent with these forecasts? b. Suppose you believe KCP's EBIT margin will be between 7% and 10% of sales. What range of share prices for KCP is consistent with these forecasts (keeping KCP's initial revenue growth at 9% with growth slowing in equal steps to 4% by year 2011)? c.
