Response to MME Case Analysis By: Group 10
Goals • Most of the stated goals have already been completed or are not economically viable. • Help local farmers by keeping corn prices high. • Help member farmers profit from the increased demand for ethanol. • Continue the process of converting into an LLC
Constraints • We agree that fulltime management is a substantial issue but the rest of the constraints seemed irrelevant or were already overcome.
Implementation • We suggest looking into selling but under different terms. • Look for a deal that would offer all cash instead of just 20%. • Why sell and hold onto 80% of a company that you are looking to get out of. • Adding a contract stipulation to continue local corn purchase seems highly unlikely. • Maintain the current status. • We see MME as a profitable company that caries no debt and pays a substantial dividend. • Once an LLC is formed let members decide to stay in or not.
