Cfo Interview Questions

"Candidates are hired for a CFO position for the wisdom that they have gathered in the finance world through the years. Thus, an interview will likely be centered around how you have previously handled a wide variety of investors, what your strategies or tactics are like, and how you have turned companies and teams around to become successful. In addition, companies will like to see that you are interested and informed about the industry that you will be applying your financial knowledge to, so be sure to do some research on their products beforehand and how they are relevant to your life."

The launch of our major partnership with Google has been delayed by a few months, and they want to know the financial impact of the delay to Merit America. Please prepare a simple model for calculating the impact using the information below. If you need to make any assumptions, please make them and state what they may be. Merit America learners are supposed to sign an Outcomes Based Loan (“OBL”, whereby they pay back the Google Fund only when they are earning $40K) in their first week of the immersion phase of Merit America. The Google Fund pays $3600 upfront for every learner who signs an OBL at the time of signing, and an additional $900 for every learner with an OBL who is placed in a new job earning above $40K within 2 years of completing Merit America. If a learner does not complete the Merit America program, Merit America refunds 40% of the $3600 to the Google Fund. Our program completion rate is 80%, and our goal is that 50% of graduates will get jobs above $40K within two years (this is lower than our overall placement goal, given a large number of learners get jobs just below the salary threshold, or decide they are not interested in new jobs at this time). The OBL document was delayed several months, such that learners are going to be asked to sign AFTER the Merit America program is over. We expect that once the Merit America program is over, only 70% of graduates will still sign the OBL, and only 25% of non-graduates will do so. There were 350 immersion phase starters in the cohort that was completed, and another 550 who are just three weeks out from finishing. What is the total estimated loss to Merit America of the delay?
