This assignment has a 25% weighting in your overall mark for this unit and focuses on content from Weeks 6, 7 and 8. The assignment will be marked out of 25 and marks will be allocated as indicated in the rubric on page 4. Your total assignment submission will consist of a word document and a spreadsheet. Submit your spreadsheet separately in the provided spreadsheet link in the BCS2 section of the unit site. By submitting the spreadsheet, you are confirming that it is entirely your own work. Save the spreadsheet with your details in the file name using the following format (failure to do so could result in your spreadsheet not being considered in marking): Student ID_Full_name_ACC00716A3 For example: 13579246_Jennifer_Harrison_ACC00716A3.

The memo will be submitted as a word document via a Turnitin assignment link in the BCS2 section of the unit site and include your name, student ID, unit code (ACC00716), assessment number (A3) and word count at the beginning of the document. The remainder of the document should be set up as a formal memo and include an appendix with a screen shot(s) of your base case figures from the spreadsheet. Within the memo body, you may provide tables and figures that are discussed in the text and assist decision makers understand your methods, findings and their implications for decision making. The word document submission must not exceed 1,000 words (excluding the screen shot appendix and reference list).

This is an individual assessment exercise. The unit teaching team is very experienced at marking such assessments and recognising the differences between individual and “group” work, as well as data, facts, statements and ideas of others that have not been appropriately acknowledged. To avoid any potential for academic misconduct investigation, ensure that every aspect of your work is your own and that you acknowledge all sources you have directly drawn upon in your submitted work. Quotations should be shown as such. We are not fussy about referencing style, just that you reference when needed.

MARKING CRITERIA - Accurate estimation of relevant base case cash flows and decision criteria (12 marks) All relevant base case cash flows have been accurately incorporated into the analysis and net cash flows and decision criteria are correct. Accurate and appropriate analysis of uncertainty (5 marks) You have accurately analysed project uncertainty using appropriate techniques. You have shown insight by judicious input choices that are well-articulated and linked to case facts. The analysis is easy to follow. Appropriate interpretation and recommendations based on the project analysis (8 marks) You have accurately interpreted the results of your financial analysis and made appropriate and insightful recommendations with the basis of those recommendations clearly and concisely explained. Recommendations go further than simply accepting or rejecting the project by recognising the subtleties of project decision making and needed additional analysis or considerations.
