Jessica Lee has been hired by J&J Industries to assist in financial planning and company performance evaluation. She graduated five years ago with a degree in finance and has been working in the finance department of a Fortune 500 company since then. J&J Industries was founded by friends Eric Johnson and Tyler Jameson ten years ago. The company has produced and sold light aircraft over this time and has received high safety and reliability ratings. The company has a niche market, selling primarily to individuals who own and fly their own aircraft. J&J Industries has two models: the Phoenix, priced at $53,000, and the Falcon, priced at $78,000. Although the company manufactures aircraft, its operations differ from commercial aircraft companies. J&J Industries builds aircraft to order and, by using prefabricated parts, can complete the manufacture of an aircraft in just five weeks. The company also receives a deposit and partial payment before the order is complete. In contrast, a commercial aircraft may take one and a half to two years to manufacture once an order is placed. Eric and Tyler have provided financial statements, and Jessica has gathered industry ratios for the light aircraft manufacturing industry.
