MINICASE Alpha One Software Corporation Note: This Mini Case incorporates the calculation of a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to determine whether the Alpha One Software Corporation added economic value in 2016. The Appendix to Chapter 7 will need to be covered firet in order to complete this Mini Case. The Alpha One Software Corporation was organized to develop software products that would provide Internet-based firms with information about their customers. As a result of initial success, the venture's premier product allows firms with subscriber bases to predict customer profiles, retention, and satisfaction. Arlene lo received an undergraduate degree in computer science and information systems from a major northeastem university four years ago. The Omega Subscriber Software Product was developed and test-marketed with the help of two of her classmates; Alpha One Software Corporation was up and running within one year. Venture capital was ob- tained to start up operations, a second round of venture financing helped Alpha One move through its survival stage. Prod- uct success in the marketplace has allowed the venture to achieve such rapid sales growth that it now is able to get bank loans and to issue long-term debt. The interest rate on the bank loan is 10 percent. For long-term debt, the real interest rate is estimated to be 3 percent, the inflation premium is 4 percent; and Alpha One's default/liquidity risk premium over government bonds is estimated to be 7 percent. The cost of common equity was estimated using the risk-free long-term government bond rate and a stock investment risk premium of 13 percent. Arlene lo has now reached the point of being able to consider whether Alpha One is adding economic value in terms of its net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) and its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Following are the finan- cial statements for 2016.
