Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to test the money aspect of the business. This will determine if we have a business, a pipe dream, or a hobby.

Mechanics

Start with chapter 8 and then page 98-103 of the textbook. (Please submit assignment as Lastname.Firstname.Financial.docx.) Your written report should be key boarded, utilize the American Psychological Association (APA) citation format. Submit two pages of explanation in Word, a works cited page, and the Excel spreadsheet. Use 12 point Ariel font, 1/4 inch indentions,  and single line and character spacing. I am expecting a professional report that (a) demonstrates a command and understanding of the topic, (b) uses sound presentation logic and well thought through justifications, and (c) displays use of appropriate graphs, charts, and tables. Turn in your Word and Excel files to Canvas for submission to www.turnitin.com (Links to an external site.). Do not send me assignments in PDF, HTML, Pages, Word Perfect, linked to Microsoft 365, linked to Sharepoint.com, or linked to Google Docs. All submissions will be graded as to following instructions, content, punctuation, grammar, citations, and sentence structure. Late submissions will not be accepted. Please answer the following questions in paragraph form.
Financial Feasibility Analysis

Capital Requirements  How much cash and securities do we need to get started? We will bring 20% with us for a loan.

Estimated Earnings  Can we beat the industry averages in the IBIS report? What do the numbers look like? Do we lose money at first while developing the company?

Return on Investment  Can we beat the Industry average? What is the normal return on an investment like this? How soon do we expect to make a return on investment?

Remember that you can estimate your expenses using the IBIS industry report. Start with your room count, percent of occupancy, and estimated sales. Then estimate your expenses using the averages listed in the IBIS report.

Grading: In Industry, I never had a supervisor give me an assignment with a rubric. You did the job or be replaced by someone that will do the job. However, this is what I am looking for:
1. 20 points- satisfactory work as evidenced by thoroughness and effort. May not be completely correct, but a high level of effort is evident.
2. 15 points- lacking or missing minor elements. (i.e. citations)
3. 5 points- unsatisfactory. Displays little effort, thought, or initiative.
4. 0 points- Did not even try.
