General, Revenue and Direct Costs Assumptions
Starts with basic model questions on start date of the model, tax rate assumption, working capital assumptions and funding assumptions. Revenue assumptions are the anticipated factors that drive a company's income generation over a specific period. These assumptions form the basis for financial projections and are crucial for planning and decision-making. In our model, we have included detailed inputs on (the # of Cows on the Farm, Milk Production Per Cow, % of Milk Products Sold By Total Milk Production, Revenue By Milk Byproduct (Fresh Milk, Cheese, Butter, Yogurt, Cream), Other Revenue (Government Subsidies/Grants). Direct Cost assumptions are included for Feed Costs as a percentage of Total Revenue and Veterinary and health Costs as a percentage of Total Revenue.


Operating Expenses Assumptions
Operating expense assumptions are typically based on historical data, industry benchmarks, market trends, and management's judgment. They are crucial for estimating the total cost of running the business and for determining profitability. Like revenue assumptions, it's important to regularly review and adjust operating expense assumptions to reflect changes in the business environment and ensure the accuracy of financial forecasts. In our model we have included detailed inputs on Dairy Farm Staff Costs (Farm Manager, Milkers, Herdsman/Herd Manager, Feed Manager/Feed Specialist, Veterinary Technician, Farm Equipment Operator, Marketing and Sales Manager, Equipment Maintenance Supervisor, Quality Control Manager, Other), Typical Dairy Farm related Operational Expenditure items (Utilities, Insurance, Transportation & Logistics, Repairs & Maintenance, Fertilizer and Manure Management, Breeding Costs, Housing and Bedding, Administrative, however, you can add any other expenses you think may be relevant to your business in this sheet.


Capex Assumptions
Capital expenditure (Capex) assumptions refer to the anticipated investments a company plans to make in long-term assets, such as property, plant, equipment, and technology, over a specific period. These assumptions are crucial for financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting, impacting the company's cash flow, profitability, and growth prospects. We have included a Fixed asset cost assumption schedule here for the main items likely to be on a company's capex sheet and also a Use Of Funds assumption list with a corresponding pie chart. Capex items include Dairy Barns and Milking Parlors, Feed Storage Facilities, Manure Management Systems, Milking Machines, Cooling Systems, Feed Handling Systems, and others)


Monthly Projections
We have broken down projections on a Month by Month basis when projecting Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement items. The monthly projections are provided over a 5-year time frame. This is particularly useful for businesses looking at month-on-month trends and insights in the business, which leads to better decision-making and also better budgeting should there be a need to either raise more capital, pursue growth opportunities from excess capital or pay down interest-bearing debt. Monthly projections also help a business ascertain what performance may be seasonal in nature when looking at growth projections on a month-over-previous-years-month basis.


Annual Projections
The model has Annualized Financial Projections of the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement over a 5-year time frame. Annual projections provide an excellent overview of expected revenues, expenses, profits, cash flow, and other key financial metrics for the upcoming year.
