Prevedere lo stato patrimoniale per Ford

Ora che abbiamo i rapporti per Ford, il management desidera migliorarli per l'esercizio 2018.

C'è un rapporto in particolare che il management vorrebbe migliorare: il rapporto dei giorni di incasso (debtor days), che attualmente è di 146 giorni; pur essendo migliore di Nissan (244 giorni), è ancora molto più alto rispetto a Toyota, la leader del settore (31 giorni).

Il management vorrebbe ridurre i giorni di incasso a meno di 100 giorni.

Queste variabili sono già state impostate:

filtered_balance_sheet contiene la riga dei crediti (receivables) dello stato patrimoniale.
ddays = 99 è il target dei giorni di incasso.
sales = 156776 è il totale delle vendite esistenti.

La formula per calcolare i giorni di incasso è: \(\dfrac{\text{closing balance debtors}}{\text{sales}} * 365\).

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.

Exercise 1: Financial periods and how to work with them Exercise 2: Converting quarters into months Exercise 3: Merging months into quarters Exercise 4: The datetime library Exercise 5: Working with the datetime library Exercise 6: Converting date formats - simple Exercise 7: Converting date formats - explicit Exercise 8: Tips and tricks when working with datasets Exercise 9: Working with datasets - month totals Exercise 10: Working with datasets - combining datasets Exercise 11: Working with datasets - exporting data

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 Exercise 7: Assigning dependencies for expenses Exercise 8: Build a sensitivity analysis for the net profit Exercise 9: Working with variances in the forecast Exercise 10: Building an alternate forecast Exercise 11: Building a gap analysis between forecasts Exercise 12: Setting dependencies for Netflix Exercise 13: Calculating an alternative forecast for Netflix
