Stock Market Valuation and Success - IPO

The business I’ve chosen is DocuSign Inc (DOCU). The company makes software for digitally signing documents, and has been on CNBC’s list of startups revolutionizing the technology industry three times. They went public in April 2018 after raising $629.3 million in IPO. The stock opened at $38 per share, above the estimates of between $24 and $26 per share, and closed at $39.73 per share. DocuSign planned to offer 16.1 million shares but initially sold 21.7 million shares giving them a total of 152.1 million shares, valuing the company at $4.41 billion, which is above the original $3 billion valuation estimated. The IPO money has been spent on major investments in infrastructure and security, and creating a company culture that’ll attract top talent (Novet, 2018).

The market at the time seemed very favorable for the tech company’s. DocuSign was the eighth cloud based company to go public in 2018 following Dropbox and Zscaler Inc. In recent years leading up to going public in 2018 the company struggled with revenue loss, but its revenue has risen 39% overall. The revenue losses have been $52 million for the fiscal year ending 2017, $115 million in 2016, and $123 million in 2015. In good news for shareholders the revenue in fiscal year 2019 was over $700 million and the company grew 35%. There was some fear the company may not be profitable in the future because most of their revenue is from customer subscriptions, but they’ve done a good job at partnering with companies to use their services creating more revenue, and more profit value for shareholders (Bary, 2018).

For Chegg: explain whether you agree or disagree with the above assessments of my Selected IPO that occurred in the last five years . Can you identify additional economic and market factors that may have influenced the results of the IPO?

An automobile repair shop is concerned about customer satisfaction in terms of the entire experience customers receive from the repair shop. In order to quantify the customer experience, three critical service characteristics have been identified:

Complaints of a failure to fix the vehicle.

Delay beyond the promised pickup time.

Complaints of damage to the inside/outside of the vehicle during repair.

A level of zero defects is the long-term goal. In order to address this goal, statistics have been collected over the past few months regarding these critical characteristics (see Table).

(A)Based on the Pareto principal, what would be the strategy for decreasing the total number of defects? (

B) With respect to the number of delays from promised completion time, does the process appear in-control? Assuming that special causes can be eliminated, what is the best estimate of the process capability?

(C) How is the process performing with respect to the number of items not fixed properly? What is the process capability?

Ewing Company sells household furniture. Customers who purchase furniture on the installment basis make payments in equal monthly installments over a two-year period, with no down payment required. Ewing's gross profit on installment sales equals 40% of the selling price of the furniture.

For financial accounting purposes, sales revenue is recognized at the time the sale is made. For income tax purposes, however, the installment method is used. There are no other book and income tax accounting differences, and Ewing's income tax rate is 20%.

If Ewing's December 31, 2021, balance sheet includes a deferred tax liability of $900,000 arising from the difference between book and tax treatment of the installment sales, it should also include installment accounts receivable of
