BUS 400 Module Six Assignment Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

Creativity and diversity can lead to outcomes that both maximize pro�t and enhance social well-being. Business leaders use measurable factors to help determine design and development decisions, “go” or “no-go” milestones,

�nancial models, and many “what if” scenarios. In this process, the new product or service is considered as part of a system.

Scenario

You rocked your BMC and received a great response from the experienced project manager (PM). As you read the feedback, you realize that it’s now time to develop the �nancial component. In the comments, the PM also

stated that no matter how good an idea is, to senior management, it’s a “no-go” if the new product or service does not produce sales.

In preparation for your funding pitch, which you will submit as your course project in Module Seven, the PM also warns that funding pitches are quick and decisive. Including too much information could overwhelm senior

management, cause more questions, and erode the purpose of the funding pitch.

Prompt

The PM’s directive at this point is for you to develop a 2244--mmoonntthh pprroo ffoorrmmaa that demonstrates the potential pro�tability of the new product or service in an income statement. You will use the Module Six Assignment Template

linked in the Guidelines for Submission section to complete this assignment.

You may use the current company’s income statement to project what can be added to the company’s pro�tability. This can be found in the company’s 10-K. Look to other companies in the marketplace with products or services

similar to the one you are proposing as a basis for your projections. Additionally, you may use the company’s current year numbers and key assumptions based on your analysis of the market to project into the future.

Remember, these numbers are purely speculative.

In the template, you will speci�cally address the following:

• PPrreevviioouuss ��ssccaall yyeeaarr: Identify historical information for the previous �scal year.

• 2244--mmoonntthh pprroojjeeccttiioonnss: Speculate projections for 24 months.

• EExxppllaannaattiioonn ooff aassssuummppttiioonnss: Explain how you were able to speculate appropriate assumptions.

What to Submit

Submit the completed Module Six Assignment Template Word Document as a Word document. Sources should be cited according to APA style.
