course project part 1

The first paragraph of this executive summary should give a brief description of the business to which this budget applies. Very briefly describe the products and services of this company, the geography or demographics of the customers it serves, and why people purchase the main product of this business. Much or all of this will be found in the business profile provided to you. Please use your own words, and please do not simply copy and paste the explanation in the course materials. Make assumptions if necessary.

Also, provide a second paragraph that describes how the budget supports the company’s strategy.

Finally, provide a third paragraph where you summarize the key points from your budget, including the planning horizon; the amount of up-front investment; the NPV, payback, and IRR of the project; and key figures from your income statement, cash budget, and balance sheet.

Remember, this is not a thesis or introduction of what you will talk about—it contains the major, specific content of each section. The second and third paragraph should be written after you have completed all other sections of this template.

As you complete sections of this template, please remove all italicized text in all sections of this template and replace it with your own or you will lose points!
