Ragan, Inc

Finance

Ragan, Inc., was founded nine years ago by brother and sister John and Mary Ragan. The company manufactures and installs commercial heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) units. Ragan, Inc., has experienced rapid growth because of a proprietary technology that increases the energy efficiency of its units. The company is equally owned by John and Mary. The original partnership agreement between the siblings gave each 50,000 shares of stock. In the event either wished to sell the stock, the shares first had to be offered to the other at a discounted price.

Although neither sibling wants to sell, they have decided they should value their holdings in the company. To get started, they have gathered the following information about their main competitors (EPS: earnings per share, DPS: dividends per share, ROE: return on equity, R: cost of capital)
