Golden Gate Aircraft is a medium-sized aircraft company located just outside San Francisco whose sales distribution is approximately 30 percent for defense contracts and 70 percent for nonmilitary uses. The company has been growing steadily in recent years, and projections based on current research-and-development prospects call for continued growth at a rate of 5 percent to 7 percent a year. Although recent reports of several brokerage firms suggest that the firm’s rate of growth might be slowing down because of the high price of fuel and the softness of the business aircraft market, Golden Gate’s management believes, based on internal information, that no decline is in sight. The company’s stock, which is traded on the Pacific Stock Exchange, is selling at 15 times earnings. This is slightly below the 17 times ratio of Standard & Poor’s aircraft industry average. The company has assets of $35 million and a debt ratio of 25 percent (the industry average is 23 percent). Golden Gate needs an additional $5 million over and above additions to retained earnings to support the projected level of growth during the next 12 months.
