Prepare a 5 year Financial Projection from 2015 - 2020

1.            Project all sales revenue for each period in the financial horizon

2.            Forecast operating expenses such as cost of goods sold (but not depreciation, interest, or tax       expense, which are handled separately) and derive projected pre-tax operating income before       depreciation and amortization. Expense margin – for example, cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales are useful for this purpose.

3.            Forecast the level of balance sheet operating assets and liabilities – cash inventories accounts      receivables, accounts payable, and the like – needed to support the projected operation in steps 1 and 3. Turnover ratios (also called utilizations ratios can help guide these projections.

4.            Forecast depreciation expenses and tax expense each period.

5.            Forecast the company’s financial structure dividend policy each period. Then use this information, along with an estimation of the interest rate charged on debt financing, to project interest expense and complete the income statement.

6.            Derive projected cash flows statements from the forecasted income statements and balance sheet
