Question 1
Build an optimistic and pessimistic profitability scenario based on relevant assumptions.
Pessimistic Model
Assumption We are assuming that a profitability model is being calculated for Ayush India Ltd.
With the industry being expected to grow by 20.6% by 2020 according to IBEF forecasts
(https://www.ibef.org/download/Consumer-Durables-June-2017.pd f), we can therefore assume
that the company will grow by 4.29%, 6.44% and 8.59% YoY which is on par with the industry
standards. We can also conversely assume that the company will not take any more additional
steps to ensure that it grows more than the forecasted growth rate. The revenue model will be
calculated solely on this basis.
Particulars % of Revenue
Year 2017 2018 2019 2020
Revenue (YoY increment) - 4.29 6.44 8.59
Material 10.00 10.00 10.00 12.00
Operating Costs 15.00 16.61 18.22 19.83
Salaries 7.00 10.00 13.00 16.00
Comment:
In the pessimistic model, we can see that the earnings per share is decreasing over the years,
this is due to the fact that the companys profits are diminishing over the years. If the company
continues to grow as per the industry average, while maintaining the same level of costs, the
profits of the firm will decrease. This will have an impact on the earnings per share.
In the optimistic model, the earnings per share increase gradually over time as the profits of
the firm are also increasing. The company will have to maintain a minimum growth rate of 10%
on an annual basis to meet increasing costs and at the same time increase profits and the
earnings per share.

Question 4
Identify the most sensitive cost element to the company
Since the cost of materials absorbs the highest percentage of revenues (more than 15% of the
total revenues), it is the most cost sensitive element for the company. Any increase or decrease
in the cost of materials will have a significant impact on the profits of the firm.
Question 5
Redraft the balance sheet based on the optimistic and pessimistic scenarios
Assumptions: It is assumed that all the expenses and income were settled in cash. Hence the
net profit directly results in an increase in cash.
