Four Kinds of Business Plan
Kinds of planning– Strategic Planning– Operational Planning– Budgeting– Forecasting

Four Kinds of Business Plan
Strategic Planning– Addresses broad, long-term issues,
contains summarized, approximate financial projections
Five-year horizon is commonConcepts expressed mainly in words, not numbersFirm analyzes itself, the industry and the competitive situation
9
![Page 10: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Four Kinds of Business Plan
Operational Planning– Translates business ideas (day-to-day
operations) into concrete, short-term projections
– Usually one year or less– Specifies how much the firm will sell, to
whom, and at what prices
10
![Page 11: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Four Kinds of Business Plan
Budgeting– Short-term updates of the annual plan
Usually Covers a three month quarterAttempts a precise estimate of company expensesMostly financial detail with a few words
11
![Page 12: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Four Kinds of Business Plan
Forecasting– Very short-term projections of profit and
cash flow Where will the business’s financial momentum carry it in the next few weeks
– Consists almost entirely of numbers– Cash forecasts are projections of short-
term cash needsMost large firms do monthly cash forecasts
12
![Page 13: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Four Kinds of Business Plan
The Business Planning Spectrum– Broad, long-term planning on one end and
numerical short-term forecasting on otherRelating Planning Processes of Small and Large Businesses– Small businesses tend to develop a single
business plan containing both strategic and operating elements
13

Financial Plan as a Component of a Business Plan
Financial plan is the financial portion of the business plan– A set of pro forma financial statements
projected over a time period– Financials are only pieces of the
projection
16
![Page 17: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Planning for New and Existing Businesses
Hard to forecast a new operation– No history on which to base projections
The typical planning task– In ongoing businesses, based on
planning assumptions such asUnit sales will increase by 10% Overall labor costs will rise by 4%, etc.

Planning Assumptions
Planning Assumptions: expected physical or economic condition that dictates the size of one or more financial statement items
19
![Page 20: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Concept Connection Example 4-1 Planning Assumptions
This year Crumb Baking Corp. sold 1 million coffee cakes per month at $1 each for a total of $12 million. Year-end receivables equal to two months of sales or $2 million.
20
![Page 21: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Concept Connection Example 4-1 Planning Assumptions
Crumb’s operating assumptions for sales and receivables are:1. Price will be decreased by 10%.2. As a result unit sales volume will increase
to 15 million coffee cakes.3. Collection efforts increased - only one
month of sales in receivables at year end.
Forecast next year’s revenue and ending receivables balance.
![Page 22: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Concept Connection Example 4-1 Planning Assumptions
Three interrelated planning assumptions– a management action with respect to pricing, – the expected customer response to that action – 15 million coffee cakes will be sold at $.90– Rev = 15,000,000 x $.90 = $13,500,000
Collection activities will be more effective– one months of revenue in accounts receivable
at year end.
A/R = $13,500,000/12 = $1,125,000
![Page 23: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The General Approach, Assumptions, and the Debt/Interest Problem
The Procedural Approach– Financial plans are built line-by-line
beginning with revenues
Debt/Interest Planning Problem– The next items needed are interest expense
and debt – Planned debt is required to forecast interest,
but interest is required to forecast debt
23
![Page 24: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
An Iterative Numerical Approach
– Interest: Guess a value of interest expense– Net Income: Complete the income statement– Ending equity: Calculate as beginning equity plus net
income– Ending debt: Calculate as total L&E (= total assets)
less current liabilities less ending equity– Interest: Average beginning and ending debt then
calculate interest expense on that value– Test the results: Compare calculated interest to the
original guess
24
Solves the debt/interest problem

Plans with Simple Assumptions
The Quick Estimate Based on Sales GrowthThe percentage of sales method assumes all financial statement line items vary directly with sales revenue
This is an unrealistic assumptionManagement virtually always has more insight
– The modified percentage of sales method assumes most but not all line items vary with sales
26
![Page 27: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Example 4.3 Plans with Simple Assumptions
27
Q: The Underhill Manufacturing Company expects next year’s revenues to increase by 15% over this year’s. The firm has some excess factory capacity, so no new fixed assets beyond normal replacements will be needed to support the growth. This year’s income statement and ending balance sheet are estimated as follows:
![Page 28: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example 4.3 Plans with Simple Assumptions
28
Assume the firm pays state and federal income taxes at a combined flat rate of 42%, borrows at 12% interest, and expects to pay no dividends. Project next year’s income statement and balance sheet by using the modified percentage of sales method.
A: We’ll increase everything except net fixed assets by 15%.
All highlighted items were
increased by 15%.
At this point we are at the debt/interest impasse. We’ll guess at interest (using last year’s interest of $150,000
as a starting point) and work through the
procedure.
![Page 29: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Example 4.3 Plans with Simple Assumptions
29
Taking the average debt at 12% yields a calculated interest of $86,000 which is considerably less than the $150,000 assumed. Two additional iterations yield the following result.
Net Income was computed using an
Interest of $150,000. The resulting Net
Income was added to Equity and the Debt
figure was a plug, calculated by
subtracting Equity and Current Liabilities from
Total L&E.

Forecasting Cash Needs
Forecasting Cash Needs– A key reason for financial projections is
to forecast the firm’s external financing needs
– When a plan shows increasing debt, additional external financing will be needed
31
![Page 32: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Percentage of Sales MethodA Formula Approach
Purpose – to estimate external financing requirements approximately and quickly
growth in assets
-growth in current liabilities
-earnings retained _________________________________________________________________
=external funding requirements
32
![Page 33: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Percentage of Sales MethodA Formula Approach
If the firm’s growth rate in sales is g, it can be shown (see text) that external funds required (EFR) in the planned (next) year will be
EFR = g(assetsthis year) - (g current liabilitiesthis year) - [(1 – d) ROS][(1+g)salesthis year]
Where d=dividend payout ratio
EFR = Growth in assets – growth in current liabilities
– planned year’s retained earnings

The Sustainable Growth Rate
Assumes the debt/equity ratio is constant– Equity growth occurs via retained
earnings – New debt will need to be raised to
keep the debt/equity ratio constant
Gives an indication of the determinants of a firm’s inherent growth capability
36
![Page 37: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Sustainable Growth Rate
Business operations create new equity equal to the amount of current retained earnings,
or (1 – d)Net Income
Implies sustainable growth rate in equity, gs gs = Net Income(1 – d) / equity
Because ROE = Net Income/equity gs = ROE(1 – d)
![Page 38: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Sustainable Growth Rate
Incorporating equations from the DuPont equations into the gs equation we obtain
sEAT sales assetsg 1 dsales assets equity
gs = (1-d)ROS x Total Asset Turnover x Equity Multiplier Firm’s ability to grow depends on 4 abilities:Ability to earn profits on sales (ROS)Use of assets to generate sales (T/A Turnover) Use of borrowed money - leverage (equity multiplier)Percentage of earnings retained (1 – d)

Concept Connection Example 4-5 Sustainable Growth Rate
After several years of lower-than-average growth, Slowly, Inc. compared its sustainable growth rate with an industry average:
Notice that Slowly’s sustainable growth rate is much lower than the average. Why?

Plans With More Complicated Assumptions
The percentage of sales method – Appropriate for quick estimates – Rarely used in formal plans due to lack of
detailReal plans generally incorporate complex assumptions about important financial items– Specific accounts can be forecast
separately
40
![Page 41: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
More Complicated PlansIndirect Planning Assumptions
Financial planning assumptions can be made:– directly about the financial items– indirectly about a derivative of the item
Indirect planning assumptions are usually based on financial ratios– Receivables are usually managed through the
Average Collection Period (ACP)
41

The Cash Budget
The cash budget is a detailed projection of receipts and disbursements of cash– A fundamentally different approach than
projecting financial statementsIn large part based on time lags between events and receipt or disbursement of related cash
49
![Page 50: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Receivables and Payables—Forecasting with Time Lags
Forecasting receivables collection is difficult because a company never knows when customers will pay their bills
50
![Page 51: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Debt and Interest
Forecasting short-term debt and interest is difficult if current cash needs are funded directly by borrowing– The current month’s interest payment is
based on the preceding month’s loan balanceOther Items– Forecasting most other items is
relatively straightforward
51

Management Issues in Financial Planning
The Financial Plan as a Set of Goals– The financial plan can be a tool to
manage the company and motivate performance
– Problems arise when top management puts in stretch goals
56
![Page 57: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Inherent Conflicts
Stretch planning and aggressive optimism can lead to unrealistic plans with little chance of coming true
Top-down plans forced on the organization by management are often unrealistically optimistic
57
![Page 58: Chapter 4 Financial Planning](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103008/568168c8550346895ddfb825/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Risk in Financial Planning in General
Scenario Analysis—“What If”ing– Different scenarios — “what if”– Gives planners a feel for the impact of
assumptions not coming true
Communication– A single plan tends to be published
along with its attendant risks
