Assignemnt: Car-Tunes Ltd.
Car-Tunes Ltd. is a young company that recently completed its initial public offering. The company designs and develops leading edge car stereo equipment, including MP4 compatible decks, speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers.
The company is investing heavily in research and development. In order to reduce strain on cash, the management team is compensated mostly through share-based compensation in the current year. In ad- dition, the company has raised cash through the issuance of common shares in the open market, and by offering various complex financial instruments. Management believes that all cash should be diverted to- wards the research and development process in order for the company to become the leader in automotive stereo equipment.
In addition to the stock options, management receives a bonus of 5% of net income if diluted EPS is greater than $0.10. The bonus is the only cash compensation that management receives at this stage of the company's life cycle. Management is excited because this year's draft income statement (Exhibit I) shows diluted EPS in excess of $0.10, and therefore, a bonus will be paid.
