Finance Case Study with Report

RAH File: Tesca Works Deliverables

To: BUS 635 Orange County Winter 2013 Students Subject: Tesca Works Case Analysis: Project Deliverables

Here is what I expect for your individual projects:

1. A report broken down into the following sections:

- Summary results and recommendations—up front, concise, and to the point. - Answers to the 8 questions asked—devote a minimum of a page to each, with individual

headings - Attached exhibits which are readable and understandable (I suggest using Calibri font

in 11 pitch for the spreadsheet(s), because it is plain and easy to read)  Spreadsheet printout(s) showing your derivation of

o Operating Cash Flows o Incremental Cash Flows, including investment and salvage o Warranty costs o WACC o NPV, IRR, Profitability Index, and Payback Period

 Any other supporting exhibits you feel are relevant

- A file containing your spreadsheet file, including all supporting elements. I want to get a sense of how well you used the power of the Excel program to make your calculations.

2. A simple typed report is adequate. I do not need fancy graphics or covers.

- Use 12 pitch, Times Roman font for the body of the report. - Single spacing is preferred, and will allow you more than enough space to complete your

report in less than 15 pages. - You should refer back to your exhibits for data or calculations, keeping them out of the

main body of the report. - Make sure name is listed on a cover sheet, as well as the project title and the date. The

cover page does not count against the 15 page limit. - I am a stickler for grammar, punctuation, and spelling (GPS). Proof read your document

well. Remember, you are selling your recommendations on this project to the CEO, so presentation is very important. GPS is worth 10% of the report grade.

Lastly, please get your report to me on March 13, 2013 (our last class). No late reports will be accepted, so plan accordingly. Please post a digital copy of your paper and work files to the Case folder in Blackboard by 3:00 PM on March 13, 2013. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
