The company expects revenues to grow 80% a year for the next 5 years and its pre-tax operating margin to improve to 20% of revenues by year 5. After year 5, you expect revenue growth to drop to 10% a year for the following 5 years and margins to stay stable. (The company has no debt and no cash balance.) a.
