assigment 3 the financials

“The Financials”

This week’s discussion is worth 90 points and it is part of your Course Project.

Before you get started on this exercise, you will need the Business Plan Financials Guide and Excel document, and the NAB Company Portfolio.

This Assignment has two sections: The Excel document and the written portion of the financials (sources and use of funds, plan assumption, and break-even analysis) as described below.

Section I: The Business Plan financials (Excel document)

  • Using your NAB Company Portfolio and the first year of your business plan for the company, you will complete all the worksheets in the Excel document in order, so that you can complete the Income Statement, Cash Flow Projections, and Balance Sheet sections from the Business Plan Financials spreadsheet.

Notes:

  • Use the instructions provided in the Business Plan Financials Guide to help you complete this document, as well as the NAB Portfolio (pages 4-8).

Section II: Financial section of the business plan (compose as a Word document and paste in the discussion window)

You will have 3 headings as outlined below:

1.Sources and use of funds: Outline the funds you have currently (see portfolio pages 4 and 8) and the ones you intend to raise (you need to raise funds per the portfolio page 4). Explain how you plan to use the funds (a clear plan for how you will use the money).

Before addressing this section please review:

2. Plan assumptions: The Financial plan must be based on decisions and facts. Investors want to know if this plan is realistic. In this section you will outline your plan assumptions.

Before addressing this section please review:

3. Break-even analysis: The break-even point is the point at which you make enough money in revenue to pay your expenses, but no profit (or loss). In this section, clarify what the break-even number is for year one (average). You will extract this information from the Break-even tab in the Excel document.

Before addressing this section please review:

  • The BrkEvn (Break-Even) worksheet in your Excel document. You would have calculated this there.
