Using your Forecast from the previous assignment please enter formulas to fill the following cells:
• Transient Rooms Revenue = Transient Occupied Rooms x Average Transient Rate. 
• Group Rooms Revenue = Group Occupied Rooms x Average Group Rate. 
• Total Occupied Rooms = Transient Occupied Rooms + Group Occupied Rooms.
• Occupancy % (this is a 150 rooms hotel) = Total Occupied rooms / 150. 
• Food & Beverage Revenue = Food & Beverage Covers x Average Cover.
• Labor = Occupied Rooms x 1.44 (hotel’s average productivity) x $15 (average hourly wage).
• Taxes & Benefits = Labor x 43%.
• Rent = $50,000 / days in the month.
• Insert a row after Food & Beverage Revenue that calculates Total Revenue (Transient + Group + Food & Beverage).
• Insert a row after rent that calculates total expenses (Labor + Taxes & Benefits + Rent).
• Add a row at the end that calculates profit (Total Revenue – Total Expenses).
• Add a total column at the end after the 31st. Watch out for cells AG6, 9, & 14 They should be averages not sums! Cell AG12 should have the following formula =+AG11/(150*31).
Once you have entered all the formulas above please apply these additional format changes:
• Format all cells to match their number type. i.e. currency, percentage etc. (all cells should have 0 decimal places)
• The whole worksheet should be Arial font size 12 (except the title cell).
• Bold cells A4 & A17.
• Add an underline to rows 16 & 21.
• Add a double underline to row 22.
Formulas must use cell references, DO NOT add actual numbers!! You should not need a calculator to complete this assignment, the whole point is to make EXCEL do the work for you 🙂

As you read in your textbook, the first step in crafting an effective business communication is planning. As part of your planning, you’ll want to complete the AIM process: an analysis of the audience (A), careful attention to information gathering (I) are required to develop the message (M). (See page 146 in your textbook.)
Think back to some business or professional communication that did not look like you had planned or hoped. This could be an email that was misunderstood, a voicemail that wasn’t clear, or even a presentation that didn’t achieve what you had hoped.
For the first part of the discussion, briefly describe the communication, what the results were, and how they differed from your desired results.
For the second part, looking at that same communication, apply the AIM process to the communication. Describe your audience analysis, share some information that you gathered then or are gathering now, and explain how you might develop the message differently. It is not necessary that you rewrite the communication; just describe how it might be different with the AIM process.
Finally, share whether or not you think applying the AIM process to your communication would have improved the results. Explain your response.
Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.

Capital budgeting is the process by which long-term fixed assets are evaluated and possibly selected or rejected for investment purposes. The purpose of capital budgeting is to evaluate potential projects for possible investment by the firm. 
Address one of the following prompts in a brief but thorough manner.
What are the various methods for evaluating possible capital projects, in terms of their possible benefits to the firm? Describe the benefits and/or shortcomings of each.
What is the NPV profile and what are its uses?
Your posting should be approximately 500 words in length.

The Allied Group is considering two investments. The first investment involves a packaging machine, which can be used to package garments for shipping orders to customers. The second possible investment would be a molding machine that would be used to mold the mannequin parts.
The first possible investment is the packaging machine, which will cost $14,000. The second investment, the molding machine, would cost $12,000. The expected cash flows for the two projects are given below and the cost of capital to the firm is 15%. Both machines will be unusable after five years and have no salvage value.
The net cash flows for the two possible projects are given in the following table:
Year   Packaging Machine  Molding Machine  0                          ($14000)                            ($12,000)
1                             4100                                     3200
2                             3300                                     2800
3                             2900                                     2800               4                             2200                                     2200
5                             1200                                     2200
Address all of the following questions in a brief but thorough manner.
What is each project’s payback period? Provide a detailed explanation of how you calculated the payback period for each. 
What is the NPV for each project? Provide a detailed explanation of how you calculated the payback period for each.
What is the IRR for each project? Provide a detailed explanation of how you calculated the internal rate of return (IRR) for each.

 
Option 1
As we discovered this week from our readings and video’s, not all cost-benefit decisions can be made from strictly financial data. Thinking about a project you have worked on or proposed, or a project which you feel is critical in your company or community, give an example of a non-financial metric which should be considered and why you think that non-financial metric should result in the approval of the project.
– OR –
Option 2
If you selected Option 1, in the Week 6 Discussion Question, briefly restate your New Product Development initiative. You are now at the stage where a Cost-Benefit Analysis is needed to prepare for the final presentation to management. There are multiples metrics you could use to quantify the benefit of your proposal (incremental sales, nominal payback, discounted payback, NPV and IRR). Choose the one that you feel is most crucial and would best help Management see the value in your proposal. Explain what the metric shows and then discuss how you would go about gathering the data and calculating this for your new initiative (and, if you have already done this in real life, share what you did and what response you got from Management).
