Explain what is meant by building financial projections that “work the way the firm works.”

What will be an ideal response?


The financial projections should be flexible enough to change inputs and outputs as the firm increases or decreases production and sales. The model should follow the same revenue/cost relationship that the firm will experience at different levels of production. For example, if a new work shift is necessary to increase production past a certain level, the model should accommodate the new shift along with all the expenses that it entails.

Write the constraints for the 3 distribution centers

Due to increased sales, a company is considering building three new distribution centers (DCs) to serve four regional sales areas. The annual cost to operate DC 1 is $500 (in thousands of dollars). The cost to operate DC 2 is $600 (in thousands of dollars.). The cost to operate DC 3 is $525 (in thousands of dollars). Assume that the variable cost of operating at each location is the same, and therefore not a consideration in making the location decision. The table below shows the cost ($ per item) for shipping from each DC to each region. Region DC A B C D 1 1 3 3 2 2 2 4 1 3 3 3 2 2 3 The demand for region A is 70,000 units; for region B, 100,000 units; for region C, 50,000 units; and for region D, 80,000 units. Assume that the minimum capacity for the distribution center will be 500,000 units.
