FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template uses the following critical formulas:

=SUM(B5:B10) — Calculates total current assets.
=SUM(B16:B19) — Calculates total non-current assets.
=B22 + B26 — Total Assets (sum of current and non-current).
=SUM(B30:B33) — Total Current Liabilities.
=B40 + B41 — Total Equity.
=B27 - B34 - B42 — Final Balance (should be 0, ensuring the balance sheet balances).
Conditional Formatting Rule: If Final Balance ≠ 0, highlight cell in red with warning text.

CALCULATIONS FOR KPIs IN COST ANALYSIS SHEET

- Inventory Turnover Ratio: = Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) / Average Inventory Value - Asset Utilization Rate: = Total Miles Driven / Total Vehicle Capacity × 100% - Cash Conversion Cycle: = Days Inventory Outstanding + Days Sales Outstanding – Days Payable Outstanding

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

Apply the following formatting rules across relevant cells:

Red Highlight: If the Final Balance is not zero, highlight cell red with error message.
Green Text: For all asset values above 10% of total assets.
Data Bars: Apply to cost columns in the Cost Analysis sheet to visualize spending trends over time.
Icon Sets: Use traffic light icons (Red/Amber/Green) for inventory levels: Red = below 5 days' supply, Green = above 30 days.
