  7. Try to see the big picture! Course Overview

  8. 2. Investment analysis, objectives • After this module the participants are able to estimate the cost of initial investments, including contingencies and working capital requirement, and set up project financing with equity and loans. Also, they will learn how to calculate repayments and interests of loans. Depreciation will be addressed and annuity of capital costs will be calculated. Course Overview

  13. Are all expenses necessary? Course Overview

  14. 3. Operations Planning, objectives • Here the participants are trained to plan operations over a planning horizon of 5-10 years, i.e. estimate sales and prices of products, and do a detailed breakdown of all operating expenses. A case study will be used here as an example. Course Overview

  15. 3. Operations Planning, content • Revenue Estimates, products and prices • Variable Operating Costs • Fixed Operating Costs • Specific for the Case Study Course Overview

  17. Using models is like using glasses to see things better! Course Overview

  18. 4. Business plan, objectives • To train participants in setting up a simple business plan including a planned operations statement based on the operations planning, and including calculations of taxes and duties. In this module, the participants will do a draft of business plan for the case study Course Overview

  19. 4. Business plan, content • Operating Statement Framework • Income Tax Calculation • Dividend Payments • Writing a Business Plan Report Course Overview

  20. Course Overview

  21. We have built a great model! Course Overview

  22. 5. Balance sheet, objectives • This module is not absolutely necessary for making profitability assessments, however it gives the participants valuable insight into how operating statements, cash flows and banance sheets are linked together. Furthermore, it is the basis for calculating financial ratios, like liquid current ratio etc Course Overview

This module together with modules 2-4, provides the basis for profitability assessment. Profitability of the case study will be calculated. Course Overview

  27. 6. Cash flow Analysis, content • Difference between Cash Flow and Operating Statement • Cash Flow from Operations • Source and Allocation of Funds (optional) • Critical Cash Flow Ratios • Profitability Measures (NPV, IRR) • Graphical Representation Course Overview

  33. 7. Sensitivity analysis, objectives • To learn how to analyse uncertainty factors and their impact on project outcome. After this module the participants will be able to do risk assessment in a simple way with sensitivity calculations and scenario analysis, and in a more advanced way with Monte Carlo Simulations Course Overview
