Y????????????????????ou rocked your BMC and received a great response from the experienced project manager (PM). As you read the feedback, you realize that its now time to develop the financial component. In the comments, the PM also stated that no matter how good an idea is, to senior management, its 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 PMs directive at this point is for you to develop a 24-month pro forma that demonstrates the potential profitability of the new product or service in an income statement. You will use the Module Six Assi????????????????????gnment Template linked in the Guidelines for Submission section to complete this assignment. You may use the current companys income statement to project what can be added to the companys profitability. This can be found in the companys 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 companys 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 specifically address the following: Previous fiscal year: Identify historical information for the previous fiscal year. 24-month projections: Speculate projections for 24 months. Explanation of assumptions: Explain how you were able to speculate appro????????????????????priate assumptions.
