The first paragraph of this executive summary should give a
brief description of the business to which this budget applies. Very briefly
describe the products and services of this company, the geography or
demographics of the customers it serves, and why people purchase the main
product of this business. Much or all of this information will be found in the
business profile provided to you. Please use your own words, and please do not
simply copy and paste the explanation in the course materials. Make assumptions
if necessary.
Also, provide a second paragraph that describes how the budget supports the company’s strategy.
Finally, provide a third paragraph in which you summarize
the key points from your budget, including the planning horizon; the amount of
up-front investment; the NPV, payback, and IRR of the project; and key figures
from your income statement, cash budget, and balance sheet. Remember, this is
not a thesis or introduction of what you will talk about—it contains the major,
specific content of each section. The second and third paragraphs should be
written after you have completed all other sections of this template.
