BA 385, Principles of Finance
Capstone Assignment Group Pro Forma Financial Statement
Project
In your groups, using the Financial Statement Projection
Spreadsheet used for BA499, develop a full set of projected
financial statements for a hypothetical company.
To complete this project provide the following:
1. A description of your hypothetical company. This description
must make it clear to me what the company does; the product or
service it will be providing; the target market to be served and
what portion of the target market the company plans to serve
(this must be realistic and specify the number of people), where
it will be located, the number of employees it will have, how
the company anticipates financing the business, and any other
information necessary for me to understand the company.
2. A detailed list of assumptions used to project the financial
statements. These assumptions must include how sales were
computed based on the target market you will serve.
3. The excel file that includes the group’s projected financial
statements. This will show 3 years of projections with the first
year by month.
4. A short description (300-600 words for each group member)
written by each member of the group describing what they
learned from the project. These should be written separately,
not as a group, although I want you to include them in one
WORD file. Be sure to show each members name at the
beginning of their section.

5. The project will be submitted the same way you have
submitted each of the previous Bb assignments into the Bb
submission folder. This is a challenging project, but will
substantially help prepare you for BA 499. The time to start is
upon you. Your financial statements will not be perfect, but you
must be clear about all your assumptions. When you are making
a wild guess make it clear in your assumptions that you are
doing that. You can be far more accurate than you think. Be
reasonable, talk to other business people, and use ratios for your
industry to help you with your projections. Your sales
projections should be based on your target market. How many
people will you sell to, how many times, and what will be the
average amount of a transaction. Demonstrate how you have the
capacity to sell to that number of people.
Good luck! Remember this assignment uses the same financial
statement projection model that you use in BA 499. See

IntroIntroduction
Welcome to the BA499 integrated model for projecting financial
statements for your business plan.
This brief introduction has been divided into several pieces.
They are:
- A discussion of intimidation
- Organization of the workbook

- Where the assumptions are found
- What the background colors mean
- A note on startup costs
- First things to enter
- Tips and tricks
- A final word from the author
If any of us as professors can help please ask. If you have
specific technical questions your professor can not answer
please contact the author of this workbook, Dr. Andy
DunganAre You Intimidated by Financial Statements?
Many of you may be intimidated by the financial statements.
We have two pieces of advice: 1. You can do this! and 2.
DON'T WAIT TO GET STARTED. The sooner you start, the
sooner you will finish. A significant amount of time is required
to do a reasonable job on your financials. If you procrastinate,
you will have a difficult time finishing the financials in time.
The process of projecting financial statements is an iterative
one. What that means is that it will take multiple attempts to
figure out your financials; you will try one thing and then
another. In the beginning you may be confused and not
understand how changing one variable changes another. Keep
working. Eventually you will see how your inputs relate to the
financial statements and you will have a much better
understanding of how the different statements relate to each
other.Organization of the Workbook (file)
If you look at the bottom of this page you will see a number of
tabs. The first eight tabs are where you enter data for your plan.
The tabs listed after the REPORT tab are your financial
statements. These tabs make it easy for you to switch back and
forth between worksheets to see the results in your financial
statements.Where the Assumptions are found
This section shows you by input worksheet what assumptions or

inputs are found on that worksheet.Worksheet

Background Colors Mean
The backgrounds of cells are important primarily if they are
yellow. For the input worksheets yellow denotes places you
must enter your assumptions. You do not have to enter
something in every yello box, but be sure you know why you
are or are not using it.Most important color--This is where you
enter your assumptionsUsed for column headings--shows the
period (month or year)A Note on Startup CostsThis projection
model has not been designed with a separate section for startup

costs. Your projection should begin in the period you begin
spending money, not the period you begin generating revenues.
Thus, you will record expenses (investments, financing, etc.)
before you have revenues. An alternative to this method would
be to acculmulate all your startup costs and enter them into the
first period of your projection.If your business is not a startup
business then you will need to enter your beginning balance
sheet data. This information is entered on the BS input tab.The
First Things to EnterYour Company Name HereYour Company
NameEnter the year and month your projections
beginYear2010Month1This shows you the dates each of your
periods end. These green heading will show up as headings on
the input worksheets. Please understand that this model has
been designed to project one year by month with two following
years being projected by year. There is no option to change this.
You could do this on your own, but it would be a difficult task
unless you are well versed in the use of Excel.Months in your

in your ProjectionYear0123Dec-09Dec-10Dec-11Dec-12Tips
and Tricks
1. This entire spreadsheet has been protected. The only cells in
which you can enter data are those with the yellow background.
You can remove the protection and start making changes, but if
you get yourself in trouble you are on your own.
2. Each of the input worksheets has had its panes frozen. This
means that the column and row headings always show when
working with the worksheet. The screen can not be split when
the pane is frozen. To unfreeze a worksheet select Window--
Unfreeze Panes.
3. The wider you can make your Excel window and the higher
you can set the resolution on your computer screen the easier it
will be to work with this spreadsheet. The input worksheets all

contain 3 columns for headings 12 columns for the months, 1
column to total the first year and 2 more columns for the last
two years. The more of this information you can see at the same
time, the easier it will be to understand the worksheet. An
alternative to this would be to reduce the view size on the
standard toolbar (to say 75%). This would allow you to see
more of the spreadsheet at one time.4. The Go To command
(Edit GoTo or ctrl G) can be very helpful. If you do not
understand where a number came from you can highlight part of
a formula for a cell and then Go To it.
Tricks for forecasting--possibly I could talk about Power
variable techniques see p. 10.13 BP ProA Final Word from the
Author
Please remember that while the "numbers" are important that
ultimately business is about PEOPLE and RELATIONSHIPS.
Said differently, the numbers must work, but businesses are run
by PEOPLE that have PEOPLE for customers and operate in a
community of PEOPLE.

Worksheet
This section allows you to project your sales and cost of sales.
It has been designed to work with unit sales and unit costs. If
you can not forecast your sales this way read the next
paragraph. 1. Labor Costs and 2. Other Costs of Sales are not
projected by product. They are forecasted as a total amount for
all products. Most people will not use these two categories.
Labor Costs come from the People worksheet and Other Costs
of Sales are entered on the Summary of Sales and Costs below.
If you want to project specific amounts for each period without
using the unit sales enter "1" as the unit sales and then enter the
total sales amount as the unit price. You should then compute
your Direct COS as a % of sales by entering a formula into the
Unit Cost of Sales (instead of an amount per unit of sales). If
you do not wish to use COS just leave the amounts blank.
For this worksheet you will enter the following:
- Product/service names for up to 9 product/services--use
only as many as you need
- Other Cost of Sales--an aggregate amount entered for all
products/services--most will not use
- Unit sales, revenues, and costs
In the summary below you will find your sales and costs
summarized by product/service and period.Product Names

PeoplePersonnel CostsMonth EndedYear EndedJan-10Feb-
10Dec-10Dec-10Dec-11Dec-12Introduction to Worksheet
There are two categories of Personnel Expense that can be
projected. The first category is for personnel costs that will be
shown as part of Cost of Sales. They will be reported as
aggregate numbers, not by product. See the income statement to
see where these costs print out. Only use this category if you
can determine which people are directly involved in making
your product or offering your service. If people have multiple
duties then it is often easier to project their personnel costs as
part of the second category, Operating Expenses.
- Assumptions about Payroll Taxes and Benefits
- Salaries for people to be included in Cost of Sales
- Salaries for people to be included in Operating Expenses
In the summary below you will find your personnel expenses
summarized into the two categories by period.Assumptions
about Payroll Taxes and Benefits
In this section you will enter your assumptions about Payroll
taxes and other benefits costs. These will all be entered as a %
of Payroll. While this method is not always perfect it will allow
a reasonable estimate to be determined. It is not uncommon for
taxes and benefits to cost 30% to 40% of salaries or more.
Percents will be projected for each year. For the first year the
same percents will be used for each month.Year 1Year 2Year

This section allows you to enter your Operating Expenses
except for Personnel and Depreciation expenses. You will also
enter your assumptions for computation of interest expense and
income taxes. Additionally, you can enter other expenses (or
income) that are not included in Operating Expenses. Most
people will not use this category.
This worksheet also provides a summary of your entire income
statement by month for the first year and by year for the next
two years.

Interest expense is computed by taking the average loan balance
times the interest rate. Monthyly amounts are computed by
dividing by 12. Interest expense for short and long-term loans
are computed separately and then added together.Year

12Introduction to Worksheet
This section allows you to enter your assumptions about
depreciation, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts
payable. Additionally, if you are not a startup company you can
enter your beginning balances. For most individuals your
beginning balances will be zeros because you are a startup

company. Costs for starting up the business should be included
in the first month of projections not the beginning balances.
There are different ways of looking at how startup costs should
be included in a projection, but this is the method used in this
model.
This worksheet also provides a summary of your entire balance
sheet by month for the first year and by year for the next two
years.
- Assumptions about depreciation
- Assumptions about accounts receivable
- Assumptions about inventory
- Assumptions about accounts payable
- Beginning balances if you are not a startup company
The balance sheet is found located after the
assumptions.Assumptions about Depreciation and depreciation
calculator
This section is where you enter assumptions about the life of
different categories of assets. These different lives will be used
for depreciation purposes. All depreciation is computed straight
line with a salvage value of zero. Some default numbers have
been entered, but you should change them to fit your
assumptions. You may also change the names of the
categories.Type of AssetAverage

ns about Accounts Receivable
Two methods are provided to project accounts receivable. The
first method is based on the percent of sales that are on credit
and how many days, on average, you have outstanding in
accounts receivable. This will be the method used by most. The
second method allows you to forecast a specific increase or
decrease for account receivable by period. The first decision
you must make is the method you will use.Method to be used--

Two methods are provided to project inventory. The first
method is based on the percent of sales that should be in
inventory. This is a realatively simplistic method but should
work for a broad range of situations. If, for example, your cost
of sales was 40% and you feel that you should have 30 days of
product (or materials to make the product in stock) then you
would enter 40% for % of sales in inventory. If you felt 60 days
was required you would enter 80% (2x40%). This will be the
method used by most. The second method allows you to forecast
a specific increase or decrease for inventory by period. The first
decision you must make is the method you will use.Method to

receivable. The first method is based on the percent of
expenditures (includes cost of sales and operating expenses
except depreciation) that are purchased on credit and how many
days on average you take to pay your bills. In the beginning few
vendors will extend you credit at all. Once you are established
the possibility of vendors giving you credit is much greater.
This will be the method used by most. The second method
allows you to forecast a specific increase or decrease for
accounts payable by period. The first decision you must make is
the method you will use.Method to be used--check

10Dec-10Dec-11Dec-12Introduction to Worksheet
This section allows you to enter certain cash flows for your
company. Some of the cash flows are computed from other
inputs (those that do not have a yellow background in the cash
flow statement below), but you will be entering many important
amounts for your business on this worksheet. Generally, the
amounts you will project here relate to how you will finance
your business (including payback of that financing) and what
assets you will purchase to operate your business. Several
miscellaneous categories are also provided to handle unusual
situations.
This is the most important worksheet in your projection. If you
don't have a positive balance in your cash account (think of it
like your checking account) at the end of the month then you
are essentially bankrupt (or at least in legal trouble). You have
to have a positive cash balance at the end of each period. The
graphic provided immediately below will help you visualize

your situation. Remember the income statment is not the cash
flow. Just because you have a profit does not mean you have
enough money to run your business.
A summary of your statement by month for the first year and by
year for the next two years is provided below.
You will enter your cashflows on this statement in cells with the
yellow background.
For this worksheet you will enter cash flows for a number of
different categories. They are:
- Other current assets (normally not used)
- Other current liabilities (normally not used)
- Purchases of property and equipment (in 6 categories)
- Purchaes (or sales) of other assets (normally not used)
- New short-term borrowings
- Repayment of short-term borrowings
- New long-term borrowings
- Repayment of long-term borrowings
- Acquisition (or repayment of other liabilities (normally
not used)
- Sale or issuance of company stock (equity)
- Payment of dividends

BreakBreakeven AnalysisYear 1Year 1 AllocationYear 2Year 2
AllocationYear 3Year 3 AllocationIntroduction to Worksheet
This section allows you to enter certain assumptions so your

breakeven analysis can be completed. You will be entering, on
an optional basis, the number of units you sell. You will only
enter amounts for units if you want to compute breakeven based
on number of units. Everyone will enter allocations for costs
between variable and fixed costs.
- Units sold by year if you wish to computer breakeven
based on units
- Assumptions allocation of costs between variable and
fixed costs
The breakeven analysis is found at the end after the allocation
assumptions.Discussion of Variable and Fixed Costs
Variable costs are those costs that are a direct function of the
production (or service) process. For instance, if you were in the
retail business, the cost of buying a product that you sell is a
variable cost. If you were making a product the cost of
materials to make the product would be variable. Variable costs
are those costs directly related to each unit you sell.
Fixed costs, on the other hand, are those costs that do not vary.
For instance, if you decided to rent a building as a store or
manufacturing facility the rent would be payable no matter
whether you sold something or not. These are called fixed costs.
They are fixed no matter how much you sell.
The challenge comes in the form of mixed or step variable
costs. An example of this would be someone you hire to sell
your product or service. In one way they are variable. You
wouldn't need them if you were not selling something. But, you
only need to hire a new sales person when your sales increase
substantially. This would be an example of "step"
variable.Another example might be if an employee had two
jobs. Let us say that half the time an employee made a product

for you and the other half of the time they did the accounting.
The production time would be variable and the accounting time
fixed.
So your challenge for determing the below allocations of
variable and fixed costs is to make a reasonable, not perfect,
allocation of the costs in your projected income statement
between fixed and variable costs. Normally cost of sales are
variable cost and operating costs are fixed, but this is not
always the case. It depends on your business and where you put
certain kinds of expenses in your projected income statement.
Breakeven was discussed in BA213 and BA380 so if you need
go back and look at your textbooks for those classes.
Note: the word ERROR prints in the column next to the
allocations until you enter the allocations correctly.Unit Sales

PVIntroduction to Worksheet
This section allows you to enter your assumptions about your
cash flows so that a basic present value analysis may be
completed. Two analyses are used. The first computes Net
Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) from the
perspective of the business. The second computes the same
analysis from the perspective of the primary investor.
- Assumptions about discount rates
- Assumptions about cash flows after Year 3 for the
business
- Assumptions about cash flows for the primary
investorAssumptions
To compute present value cash flows must be forecasted for a
longer period than 3 years. For purposes of this analysis it will
be assumed that forecasting cash flows for 10 years is
adequate.For the Business Perspective analysis, cash flows for
the first 3 years are taken from the projected statements. For
years 4 through 10 the student must enter amounts. Interest
expense and dividends are excluded from the cash flows
because appropriate present value analysis excludes these
amounts as they are reflected in the discount rate. Year 0 "Cash
used for Investing Activities" is computed by summing up the

amounts for the first 3 months of the year. This amount is then
subtracted from the year 1 total for "Cash used for Investing
Activities." The investment amount in Year 0 is then used in the
IRR calculations as the initial investment. All cash flows
associated with Equity are excluded. First because from the
business perspective one must assume the business is already
operating, meaning the equity investment has already been
made. Dividends are excluded because, like interest expense,
the discount rate should reflect the cost of doing business.Said
another way, the discount rate should reflect the firm's cost of
capital, which includes both debt and equity.For the Individual
Investor Perspective all cash flows must be entered. In many
respects this analysis could be deemed more appropriate. If you
are a small business owner you are interested in how much you
must invest and then how much you can get back. Be sure you
understand how the business will return cash to the primary
investor. This step is often left out. Any cash paid out to the
primary investor should be shown as dividends in the business
projection.
As always, if you have questions contact your professor or Dr.

AssumptionsFinancial Assumptions Summary
You should have a page in your business plan where you
explain your important financial statement assumptions.

This page may be better completed in word, but if you wish you
can use this blank page.
At a minimum your Financial Statement Assumption page
should explain your assumptions about unit sales and costs by
product, provide an explanation of your operating expenses, and
explain your sources of cash (your investors).

The Capstone Assignment
The description here is a follow-up to the material presented in
class. The SS template and assignment instructions are posted in
Moodle. If you have questions after reading this please talk with
me. – Thanks – Curt
To use the SS to its greatest advantage the following conditions
for your business must be met:
1. It must be a start-up business
2. You must borrow money and demonstrate how you will repay
your debt.
3. You must provide your own capital. This is the “sale of
stock” row on the CF tab. Even if you are not a corporation,
think of this as your owner financial contribution to the firm.
4. Your business must provide a physical product. You may not
start a service firm such as an athletic facility (a running camp),
an accounting firm (we’ll do your taxes), guide services (let me
help you catch fish), or a consulting business (I charge $150 per
hour with no appreciable cost of goods sold). A restaurant is
OK because there is a definite cost per unit sold (that $6 burger
has $1 worth of ingredients). I suggest that you manufacture
items with easily identifiable revenues and expenses.
5. Pay yourself a decent living wage and show a profit. Why
would you make up a failing company where you also get to be
poor?
I believe this assignment is more valuable with a higher level of

achievement and understanding if you are required to complete
various portions on a regular basis throughout the term. As you
complete the tabs on the SS you should also be completing a
Word document explaining your assumptions. Later, as you
need to change your SS values, be sure to ALSO CHANGE the
assumptions on your Word document.
For the first submission you will submit two documents; a copy
of your completed SS to-date and your corresponding Word
document. In subsequent weeks you will REPLACE each of
those documents with updated versions until you have
completed the entire assignment. Only one partner should be
submitting the assignments. Make sure all LAST names are in
the title of the submitted documents so that I can review each
and give credit to all group members.
Assignment portions are due within two hours of the completion
of the last class period of the week. You may complete each
portion of the overall assignment earlier than required, but late
work will realize a modest penalty. Still, turning in your work
late is vastly preferable to not turning in your work at all. The
completed assignment is due two hours after the completion of
the last regular day of class for the term (dead week).
After reviewing your submissions, (I INTEND to do this
weekly…don’t hold your breath!) I will enter a score in Moodle
for your work-to-date. The total possible points are 50 and I
will enter a maximum of 5 points per tab/portion submitted.
Tabs:
Week 2: Intro Think of a name for your company and
when you will start your business.
Week 3: CFI often start with this, the cash flow tab. After I
think about what type of firm I would like to have, I then think
about how much money I need to start it and keep it going, and
I think about where is that money coming from?!
A couple of important notes for this tab: Row 64 says “Sale of
Stock”. Think of this as YOUR contribution to the firms. In
most cases I expect you and your partner to personally
contribute 50% or more of the start-up costs. After all, if you

are not willing and able to contribute money to your firm, why
should anyone else? With 20/20 hindsight, I think this cell
should have been labeled “Owners Contribution”.
Be sure to begin a regular repayment plan for any money that
you do intend to borrow. Also, make sure that the values in row
72, “Ending Cash”, never fall below $0. If they do that means
you have failed to meet your financial obligations in that period
and are at that point bankrupt.
Week 4: Sales Identify the products and/or services you
plan to sell. Do this in general terms. I would like you to
identify three or four such products/services. For example, if
you started a drive-through coffee kiosk, you might identify
“hot drinks”, “cold drinks”, “food items”, and “misc.” as your
four categories rather than listing a menu of 47 different drinks
and sizes.
You then need to spend some time attempting to determine how
many of your items you will sell at an AVERAGE price and an
AVERAGE cost. Further, if appropriate, add some seasonality
to your assumptions. For instance, I would think a drive-through
coffee kiosk sells more cold drinks in the summer than it does
in the winter.
Week 5: People How many people do you need to hire
to operate your company and how much are you going to pay
them? Are your sales people paid on commission? Are you open
more hours over Christmas? Are the people a direct cost of sales
or are they an operating expense, or are they a combination?
Week 6: IS This is the income statement and it starts
by filling in a number of the costs that you have already
identified. But you still have to identify your operating costs
such as utilities, insurance, rent/lease payments, licensing,
Marketing…
Week 7: BS A lot of the balance sheet fills in by itself.
I suggest that you leave column D “Beginning Balances” alone
and treat your firm as a new start-up. If you intend to claim that
you are stepping into an on-going firm then you need to
complete column D. But this is harder to do if you have no real

frame of reference for what a firm’s balance sheet would look
like after several years of operation.
What this tab DOES DO is give you the opportunity to think
about what percentage of your sales are on credit vs cash (and
thus accounts receivable), how much inventory do you need
(usually as a percentage of sales), and how you go about paying
for things (i.e., accounts payable).
Week 8: Break The breakeven tab is often overlooked –
don’t you make that mistake. I understand that in the long-run
“everything is a variable cost”. But in Business very few items
are typically considered to be completely fixed or completely
variable. Think about your utility bills for instance. They are
never the same from month to month. Does this make them
completely variable? Think of it this way: I pay water, sewer,
electricity, and natural gas bills. I never pay the same amount in
any particular month but I owe something every month. My
combined utility bills may range from a low of $100 per month
to a high of $300, with an average over the year of $250 per
month. Thus, I could view my utility bills as 40% fixed
($100/$250) and 60% variable (1- fixed percentage).
Week 9: PV On this tab you are being asked to project
out your cash flows (from the cash flow tab) for years 4 – 10.
You are making up these numbers, but you need to tell me about
your assumptions for arriving at those numbers. A little further
down on that page you are thinking about how much money
YOU put into the firm, and how much money YOU get out of
the firm.
Week 10: What I learned This is not a tab, but rather the 300 –
600 word summary from EACH group member of what they
have learned from the assignment.
