This case MUST be submitted in a Word document. Exhibits should be in an Excel spreadsheet, but that is not required.

Develop a five-year strategic plan with cost estimates and a time line. It should be 5-7 typed (12 point) pages plus exhibits. Plan should include/address the following points:

1. Describe the situation facing Missouri Can Company (MCC) at the time of the case. This should include the major issues facing the company and the decisions that need to be made. Spend no time on corporate history. Consider the past, but the analysis and recommendations should be forward looking.
2. List specific recommendations for the firm in detail. Analyze and address all four divisions. Explain why each recommendation was made including the information used and the logic (or analysis) applied to reach the conclusion. No decision is complete until the financial impact of the decisions is determined. Don't forget that no strategic plan is complete with a financial analysis. Their current cost of capital is 10%.
3. If recommendation(s) need to be taken in a particular sequence, indicate the proper sequence and the reasons for that sequence.
4. The company has a requirement that 40% of the net proceeds from the sale of any capital asset must be used to reduce debt.
5. Discuss the events or uncertainties that are most likely to cause trouble in the implementation of the recommendations and how one would react to them if they were to occur.
