Model: Financial Plan for a Business

This model provides a generic financial plan for a business that is not specialized to any particular industry or type of business. The main reports are four financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and financial ratio report.

The model contains detailed backup information in many sectors. (For a simpler financial plan, see "Financial Plan for a Small Business".)

• Sales model
  • Product and product families with sales units, prices and revenue segmented by selling locations
  • Annual product support for each product, with optional deferral and accrual of revenue and expense in each time period during the support term
  • Contract sales that are unrelated to products and product support, with optional deferral and accrual of revenue and expense in all time periods during the contract term that you specify
  • Other options: sales scenarios, lead sales funnel with quality buckets, installed base tracking
• Production model: computes production units and cost of goods based on projected sales and desired inventory levels. Cost of goods is composed of direct material, direct labor, and purchased services. Includes optional production learning effects.
• Operating expense model: tracks indirect labor expense, facilities expense, admin and other expenses. You explicitly specify expenses in the early time periods. Later the model computes headcount and expense from revenue levels.
• Asset model: includes cash, accounts receivable, inventory (LIFO accounting), debt, asset purchases and depreciation.
• Liability model: includes accounts payable, short-term debt, long-term loans, bonds, and interest expense.
• Equity model: includes paid-in capital, retained earnings, dividends, and internal rate of return.
• Valuation model: values the business based on the present value of future net income, including a simple income model after the end of model time.
