Instructions for the User
1. Begin by filling in the **Input Parameters** section: - Loan Amount: Enter total financing requested. - Annual Interest Rate: Input APR (e.g., 6.5%). - Loan Term (Years): Select duration of loan (e.g., 3, 5). - Forecast Period Start Date: Set beginning month/year for your projection. - Target Growth Rate (%): Set desired monthly growth benchmark. 2. Populate the **Sales Forecasting Table**: - Enter your first month's projected revenue in cell B2. - The system automatically calculates the growth rate in column C based on prior period. - Adjust future forecasts manually as needed—formula updates will recalculate everything downstream. 3. Observe real-time feedback: - Net Cash Flow (G) shows whether you’re generating enough cash to cover loan payments. - Remaining Loan Balance (J) tracks repayment progress. 4. Use the **Dashboard** for insights: - Monitor total projected revenue, average monthly payment, and payback period. - Check if loan will be fully repaid within your forecast horizon. 5. Adjust inputs or assumptions to run "what-if" scenarios (e.g., lower sales growth or higher interest rates).Example Rows
