Budget Regulations

Budget Presentation

You are expected to prepare two presentations. A brief in-class presentation (5 points) and a more detailed video presentation (5 points).

In-class presentation
The in-class presentation will be delivered in week 15 class in the form of a brief presentation of your Excel model. You are expected to present 3 scenarios of your budget – realistic (scenario, that will be described in detail in the assignment), pessimistic scenario (one (or more) variable is worse than you expected), and optimistic (one (or more) variable is better than you expected).
Variables you will be able to change are at least (but not limited) to raw material prices, amount of sales, price of the product, number of direct workers, and labor costs (salary of the direct workers).

Use a mind map structure to present your project. You may use online tools. Example of the mind map is here https://mm.tt/app/map/3126001877?t=f2kfxQiyta

The maximum length of your presentation is 6 minutes in total. All team members must be delivering the presentation.

The presentation will be structured as follows:
Team member number one – brief introduction of the project, basic assumptions, major outcomes (profits, cash flows, NPV…)
Team member number two – a pessimistic scenario – major risk factors, variables change
Team member number three – an optimistic scenario – major space for positive development, variables change
All team members – conclusion, comment on comparison of major outcomes

A major goal of your presentation is to present your project and to point out the major factors, that are the most risky in the project and how they could potentially threaten the project or on the other side help the project to be even better than expected.

You will be presenting only the mind map (plus it can be connected to some excel sheets with graphs), no slides, no papers/notes, you have to know your part of the speech by heart. Be prepared for QAs. Similar qualities as in the video presentation are expected.

Required qualities of your video presentation
• precisely selected information (select the most important facts – no need to enlist all the info)
• up-to-date information
• good analysis of provided information
• free speech (pls do not use any notes)
• observation of the time limit
• good articulation
• use of vocabulary that is easy to understand
• slow & controlled speech
• eye contact with the camera
• movement; gesticulation; action..
• smile 
