Appendix Instrucciones: Prescriptive report Executive Summary · This is a summary for the executives, who do not have time to read the report · Start by giving a quick business context & the overall recommendation · Then 1-2 sentences per section on the rest of the report · Summarize at the end · This section should be stand-alone. Give to a friend not in BUSI650 to read, they should understand it.  Introduction · Business Context · Expectations for what is to come in the report Methods: · If something NOT in the report instructions is crucial to your analysis, you MUST write it under assumptions · Use APA citations whenever needed. I’m expecting there to be references to all sources of data.  · Some of this space can be for your preliminary calculations ie. # of customers/day, and need to be CLEARLY communicated.  . As always, present the numbers, then the steps to get there.  · I am expecting list form for improved readability.  · I am expecting a minimum of 5 assumptions.  · Do not include the assumptions already listed in the report instructions Results: · This is your space to show the analysis that you have done.  · You should be describing the data and calculations that you did to assess the profitability.  · No discussion is expected here, you are JUST PRESENTING the data · This should be approximately 1 paragraph, and up to 1 figure can be in the body of the report. Anything else can go in the appendix. Discussion: · 1 point per discussion point (max 5).  · Be comprehensive and consider all aspects of the business · Last point comes from a high quality analysis that shows deep business insight, or identifying something interesting that is often missed.  . I’m expecting 20% of reports to get this. Prove me wrong! Conclusion: · Summarize what was done in the report · Make sure you answer the question Final notes: · If you do NOT answer all of the questions asked in the report, it is a FAIL.  · This is the last individual report, do your best and have fun with it. · I’m expecting the average for this to be ~80%.  · Use the writing center, office hours, tutors as resources . Message me on Teams is fastest way to get a response. I will be active during weekdays, and rarely check messages on the weekend.  · Deadline has been extended to 28th at 11:59PM. . No excuses for late submissions, communicate with me if you anticipate issues in advance.  · Remember: you’re not competing against each other, there is no bell curve. You’re going against my expectations.

1. Executive Summary
The location for the shop should be the ‘City of Chicago’ this will make sure that the whole venture is profitable. Also, the pricing models which should be offered will be based on the assumption that the inflation will be 2% which will be
used to increase the price. The whole venture is profitable and with an initial investment of $20,000, the firm will earn that much cash flow from the venture which will be used to cover the initial investment.
2. Introduction
The small business which will be opened is a café which serves both, i.e., Food and beverage. The café which will be set up has a mix of both the products because that way it is expected that the firm will be able to get most of the profits from it. And because the place/location chosen is the ‘City of Chicago’ which will be the best location due to the demographics and the consumers who consume coffee regularly, though because of the tough competition the firm will not be able to earn a lot of consumer in the first month of the setup it is expected that the total number of consumers that the firm has every month will double in just 2 years which will be great for revenue and profit building (Walker 1887)
3. Methods
The method used for the calculation of the net income/cash flow from the business every month is using the assumptions which are mentioned below to get the revenue and all the expenses that the firm will be incurring after starting the business. The method is simple as the total cash flow that the firm will generate will be total revenue generated less of all the cost/expenses incurred.
3.1 Assumptions
· Number of customers in the first month (i.e. September 2022) = 5,000
The number of customers will grow at a rate of 2% which is assumed to be the rate at which most new ventures see an uptick in the number of customers.
· The cost of items, selling price and probability of purchase is as follows:
    Classification
    Item
    Cost of Goods Sold
    Selling Price
    Probability of Purchase
    Beverage
    Coffee (drip)
    1.00 $
    3.50 $
    30%
     
    Coffee (espresso)
    1.20 $
    4.00 $
    45%
     
    Tea
    1.00 $
    3.00 $
    25%
    Food
    Pastries/Snacks
    1.50 $
    3.00 $
    20%
     
    Meal
    5.00 $
    10.00 $
    10%
· The inflation is 2%, and it is expected that all the expenses and revenue will be growing at that rate because of the increase in price
· Rent is assumed to be $5,200 in the initial month and it will be growing at the rate of inflation which is assumed to be 2%
4. Results
4.1 Profitability
The result of the venture is that the firm will be generating the following Net Income/Cash Flow...
