Chris Guthrie was recently hired by Kiwi Yachts Ltd to help the company with its financial planning and to evaluate the company's performance. Chris graduated from university five years ago with a finance degree. He has been employed in the finance department of an S&P/ASX 200 company since then.

Kiwi Yachts was founded 10 years ago by friends Mark Kwan and Todd Jovanovich. The company has manufactured and sold large- to medium-sized yachts over this period, and the company's products have received high reviews for safety, performance and reliability. The company has a niche market in that it sells primarily to individuals who own, sail and race their own yachts. The company has two base models: the Swordfish, which sells for $53 000; and the Shark, which sells for $78 000. While the company manufactures yachts, its operations are different from those of many commercial boating companies. Kiwi Yachts builds yachts to order. By using prefabricated parts, the company is able to complete the manufacture of a yacht in only five weeks. The company also receives a deposit on each order, as well as another partial payment before the order is complete. In contrast, other commercial yacht builders may take 18 months to two years to manufacture once the order is placed.

Mark and Todd have provided the following financial statements. Chris has gathered the industry ratios for the boating manufacturing industry:
