Assignment 2: Course Project—Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis with Capital Budgeting

In this assignment, your goal is to use CVP analysis in a presentation of your project to enable a prospective investor to decide if your project is worth investing in. You will apply the concepts of CVP analysis learned in Modules 3 and 4 to the project you selected in Module 2.

Review the Course Project Guidelines.

Assignment Overview:

From the Microsoft Excel worksheet you developed in Modules 3 and 4, create a basic pro forma statement necessary to convince someone to provide the start-up funding of the project and then use this information, along with other outside research to create a Microsoft Power Point presentation. The slides of your presentation should be visually appealing—only containing the key points while the speaker notes associated with each slide should provide the essential details.

Assignment Tasks:

To create a pro forma statement:

  1. Summarize the company and explain CVP and Capital budgeting. Use outside resources to best explain CVP and capital budgeting.

  2. Identify and list the various costs—fixed and variable, direct and indirect—required to execute the project.

  3. Calculate the break-even point for the project and the expected financial returns. (This is the work you have been doing in the CVP template). Make sure you show your Excel formulas or provide calculations so your instructor can review your work. Save your final calculations as MS6010_M5A2_CVP_Lastname_Firstinitial.xls. The completed template must accompany the slide presentation.

  4. Include a brief discussion of key points of any intangible benefits or costs associated with the project.

  5. Supplement your pro forma statement with sufficient background information to enable a prospective investor to decide if your company is worth investing in.

    • The detail must have enough historic data to give an investor an understanding of trends.

    • You should also have sufficient written background so that a potential investor understands the business. Use the speaker notes area of your presentation to add background information that you would communicate verbally in a presentation. This background information should be 1 to 2 pages in length.

Submission Details:

Support your predictions and suggestions with scholarly resources and empirical evidence. Use APA format to cite your sources. Use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources.

Your submission should include the following.

  • Your MS Excel worksheet named MS6010_M5A2_CVP_Lastname_Firstinitial, detailing all calculations.

Question 3.

Question :

Why did you specifically choose this company for your project? Why are you interested in the company?

 

Student Answer:

 

My reason for having Microsoft as my project of choice is to remind other tech company how successful and powerful Microsoft company is since the beginning. It not only dominates the world of technology, also the glitz-and-glitter, high dollars world of branding and brand recognition. It’s bigger than anything the beer companies, the carmakers and clothing giants or any other massive corporate advertiser. Why am I interested in the Microsoft company? Here is why, it has a huge variety of products you can work on and choose from. If you like some specific area for the high probability there is a team at Microsoft who does this thing or working on problems in that area. They also have bunch of talented people and MSR has really brilliant scientists working there. Also, Microdot has pretty good benefits, health insurance and other stuff with a very stable share price and you are secure financially working there.

Sounds good. However, will your proposed investment or expansion allows to perform the kind of quantitative analysis on the final project due Week Five. For example, how will it cost to launch the new program? How much will you charge it in order to break even?
