Building a sensitivity analysis for gross profit

Txs Tools is now ready to use these dependencies in the gross profit forecast.

The following forecast unit sales have been provided:

Jul = 700 Aug = 350 Sep = 650

The dependencies for sales and cogs are based on the following:

Sales dependency sales_dep: The sale price is the net price after 1 USD commission. Commissions paid increase from 1 USD per unit to 2 USD per unit for every unit above 350 units sold.
Cost dependency cost_dep: When sales per unit increase above 500 units, an additional production line needs to be used, causing an increase in the cost per unit above 500 of 2 USD per unit.

The basic cost price base_cost_price = 7 and basic sales price base_sales_price = 15 has already been set.

We have gotten a basic understanding of income statements and balance sheets. However, consolidating data for forecasting is complex, so in this chapter, we will look at some basic tools to help solve some of the complexities specifically relating to finance - working with dates and different financial periods, and formatting our raw data into the correct format for financial forecasting.

In this chapter, we will be exploring two more aspects to creating a good forecast. First, we will look at assumptions, what drives them and what happens when an assumption changes? Next, we will look at variances, as a forecast is built at one point in time, but what happens when the actual results do not correspond to our forecast? We need to build a sensitive forecast that can be sensitive to changes in both assumptions and take into account variances, and this is what we will explore in this chapter.

Exercise 1: Building sensitive forecast models Exercise 2: Weighted probability Exercise 3: Market sentiment Exercise 4: Dependencies and sensitivity Exercise 5: Assigning dependencies for sales and COGS Exercise 6: Building a sensitivity analysis for gross profit
