In the Financial Forecasting project,

  • Complete the Income Statement and Balance Sheet on the appropriate tabs in the Financial Forecasting Template, (THERE ARE 3 TABS WITHIN THE TEMPLATE-ONLY NEED TO WORK ON THE FIRST 2 TABS) using the downloaded data.
  • Calculate the expenses to determine what will change and what will remain the same.
  • Summarize your rationale, within each line item expense.

Assume that sales will increase for the next quarter by the same percentage increase from the previous quarter to the last reported quarter. For example, if sales increased 8% from the last quarter to the current reported quarter, you will use 8% as the sales increase for your pro formas.

Note: Not all costs are associated with the cost of sales. It will be up to you to determine which line items need to be increased and which ones need to be left alone. This will require you to distinguish between fixed and variable costs. For a reminder of the difference between fixed and variable costs, please review the Business Costs (Fixed Costs and Variable Costs) Explained video.
