Amber, a publicly held corporation, had been paying its chief executive officer (CEO) an annual salary of $900,000. Amber instituted a performance-based compensation plan, effective January 1, 2017, that increased the CEO's 2017 compensation by $300,000. It is anticipated that the plan will provide an additional $350,0000 in 2019. Prepare a letter to Amber's board of directors explaining how much of the CEO's 2019 compensation is deductible and the consequences of any changes that might be made to the compensation plan in 2019. Address the letter to the board chairperson, Angela Riddle, whose address is 100 James Tower, Cleveland, OH 44106. Dear Ms. Riddle:
I am responding to your inquiry regarding the current compensation plans for Amber Corporation's president. The Board agreed to amend the president's compensation plan effective January 1, 2017, to allow an increase in the compensation she can earn through a performance-based compensation plan. In 2017, the president earned an additional $300,000 under her revised contract. This amount increased to $350,000 in 2018 and 2019, and it is projected that she will increase her earnings by $350,000 under this plan in 2020.
In general, any salary paid to the president in excess of $_______ is deemed excessive executive compensation and not deductible. Before 2018, compensation earned under a performance-based compensation option was not subject to this limitation. Therefore, in 2017, Amber deducted $________ as compensation.

You are an industry analyst for the telecom sector. You are analyzing financial reports from two companies: tt & t Inc. and Phonez Corp. corporate tax for both firms is 35%. Your associate analyst has calculated and compiled, in the following table, a list of important figures you need for the analysis:

TT &T Inc. Phonz Crop.
EBIT $175,000 $124,600
Depreciation $70,000 $49,840
Total operating capital $1,029,000 $802,900
Net investment in operating capital $490,000 $259,000
WACC 8.84% 11.50%

In your analysis, you want to look for several characteristics-one of them being the return on invested capital (ROIC). Using the information available, complete the following statements:

TT&T inc. has a ______________free cash flow than Phonez Corp. does. The net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) for tt&t inc. is___________, whereas the NOPAT for Phonez Corp. is_________.

Plastic material costs 493,000 6,40,000 6,77,000
Conversion costs 80,000 120,000 115000
Conduit output 800,000 1200,000 1130,000
