BENEFITS OF DOCUMENT
DESCRIPTION
The what-if analysis feature natively built into Excel is great. This template utilizes the data table feature with 21 unique sensitivity tables that are built for any manufacturing business or volume-based business.
You can analyze a few different base models and then sensitize key variables to see how the following outputs will change:
• profit / loss
• profit margin
• break-even price point
• break-even volume
• break-even revenue
This model has 4 base models that tables are built from. The first two are simple with price, volume, fixed costs, and variable costs as the drivers. The second two tables get more in-depth and include variables like average wage rate, employee production, employee count, payroll taxes / benefits, and variable costs.
Sensitizing various key inputs gives the user a quicker view of what the financial impact may be if certain variables were adjusted while all else was held equal. The user can go in and adjust the sensitized input values for all the tables as well as the general base model inputs to meet their specific situation.
Additionally, I built in visual charts for each data table. Doing this makes it easier to view the output results. Each table has 36 outputs (6 horizontal and 6 vertical edges).
