Scenario: Your team has been hired to provide financial analysis for a start-up company, Bobble in Style, which produces customized bobble heads.
The bobble heads are made out of less rigid materials and are more true to life than those of competitors. The company inventors, Mr. and Mrs. Lee, are going to pitch their idea to Shark Tank in a few months, but first they need to have a better understanding of the business financials.
The Lee's are already creating and selling their product from their home-based office and work area. They know what costs are involved with making the bobble heads on a small scale, but they don't have an understanding of financial figures beyond basic costs. They need you to make sense of various financial figures for them.
The Project: There are several financial analysis tasks involved with this project, which are outlined below .PowerPoint presentation to introduce and highlight your findings.
Your PowerPoint presentation should include a title slide, an executive summary slide(s), subsequent slides that illustrate your findings, any additional recommendations that you would like to make, and a conclusion slide.
The PowerPoint presentation should be approximately 3-5 slides in length. Include notes in the presentation as needed.
The completed PowerPoint presentation should be cohesive and professional in appearance.
INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS: If production does increase dramatically after their presentation on Shark Tank, the Lees will need more space for production.
They have two options. Option 1 is to rent out a spacious warehouse nearby. If they pursue this option, there rent will be $1200 per month and utilities are estimated to cost an additional $350 per month. Their second option, Option 2, is to rent a smaller storefront space that is also nearby.
The storefront rent is $1350 per month. However, utilities will likely only cost an additional $150 per month. They want to compare their options over one year's time (since each rental contract is a 1 year commitment). What is the incremental analysis if the Lees choose Option 1 over Option 2?
