11Another major component of financial planning model is [blank_start]planning model[blank_end]. This includes [blank_start]equations[blank_end] specifying key [blank_start]relationships[blank_end] i.e. show how change in sales is likely to affect [blank_start]costs[blank_end], working [blank_start]capital[blank_end], fixed [blank_start]assets[blank_end] & [blank_start]financing[blank_end] requirements
1. Aplanning model
2. Bequations
3. Crelationships
4. Dcosts
5. Ecapital
6. Fassets
7. Gfinancing
12Third major component of financial planning model is [blank_start]outputs[blank_end]. This includes [blank_start]projected[blank_end] financial [blank_start]statements[blank_end] (pro forma), [blank_start]financial[blank_end] ratios & [blank_start]sources[blank_end] & uses of [blank_start]funds[blank_end]

13Percentage sales model- [blank_start]Planning[blank_end] model in which [blank_start]sales[blank_end] forecasts are driving [blank_start]variables[blank_end] & most other [blank_start]variables[blank_end] are assumed to be [blank_start]proportional[blank_end] to [blank_start]sales[blank_end]
1. APlanning
2. Bsales
3. Cvariables
4. Dvariables
5. Eproportional
6. Fsales
14Sales is [blank_start]driving[blank_end] force as it will define a lot of other [blank_start]variables[blank_end] i.e. level of fixed [blank_start]assets[blank_end], [blank_start]labour[blank_end] costs, etc. However, assumption that other [blank_start]variables[blank_end] are assumed to be proportional to sales is [blank_start]questionable[blank_end]
1. Adriving
2. Bvariables
3. Cassets
4. Dlabour
5. Evariables
6. Fquestionable
15Balancing item- [blank_start]Variable[blank_end] that adjusts to maintain [blank_start]consistency[blank_end] of [blank_start]financial[blank_end] plan. It's also called [blank_start]plug[blank_end]

2. Bconsistency
3. Cfinancial
4. Dplug

1. A1 - dividend pay-out ratio (d)
17Internal growth rate- [blank_start]Maximum[blank_end] growth rate that can be [blank_start]achieved[blank_end] with no [blank_start]external financing[blank_end] of any kind, i.e. [blank_start]EFN = 0[blank_end]
1. AMaximum
2. Bachieved
3. Cexternal financing
4. DEFN = 0
18Sustainable growth rate- [blank_start]Maximum[blank_end] growth rate that can be [blank_start]achieved[blank_end] with no [blank_start]external equity financing[blank_end] while maintaining constant [blank_start]debt/equity[blank_end] ratio
1. AMaximum
2. Bachieved
3. Cexternal equity financing
4. Ddebt/equity
19One determinant of growth is [blank_start]profit margin (PM)[blank_end]. Increase in [blank_start]profit margin[blank_end] will increase [blank_start]retained earnings[blank_end] therefore, increase [blank_start]sustainable growth[blank_end]. Higher the amount of [blank_start]retained earnings[blank_end], higher level of [blank_start]debt[blank_end] you can have in order to keep [blank_start]debt/equity[blank_end] ratio constant
1. Aprofit margin (PM)
2. Bprofit margin
3. Cretained earnings
4. Dsustainable growth
5. Eretained earnings
6. Fdebt
7. Gdebt/equity
20Another determinant of growth is [blank_start]total asset turnover[blank_end]. Increase in this, increases [blank_start]sales[blank_end] generated by each unit in [blank_start]assets[blank_end].

1. Atotal asset turnover
2. Bsales
3. Cassets
4. Dassets
5. Esales
6. Fsustainable growth
21Third determinant of growth is [blank_start]financial policy[blank_end]. Increase in [blank_start]debt/equity[blank_end] ratio makes additional [blank_start]debt[blank_end] financing available, in turn increases [blank_start]sustainable growth[blank_end] rate
1. Afinancial policy
2. Bdebt/equity
3. Cdebt
4. Dsustainable growth
22Fourth determinant of growth is [blank_start]dividend policy[blank_end]. Decrease in [blank_start]dividend pay-out[blank_end] increases [blank_start]retained earnings[blank_end] hence, increases [blank_start]sustainable growth[blank_end] rate
1. Adividend policy
2. Bdividend pay-out
3. Cretained earnings
4. Dsustainable growth
23One caveat of financial planning models is financial planning models ignore [blank_start]cash flow[blank_end], [blank_start]risk[blank_end] & [blank_start]timing[blank_end]. Financial planning rely on [blank_start]accounting[blank_end] relationships not [blank_start]financial[blank_end] relationships

1. Aiterative process
2. Bcreated
3. Cexamined

2. Bdecisions
28Another step involved in financial planning process is deciding which [blank_start]alternatives[blank_end] to [blank_start]undertake[blank_end]
1. Aalternatives
2. Bundertake
29Another step involved in financial planning process is measuring subsequent [blank_start]performance[blank_end] against [blank_start]goals[blank_end] set forth in [blank_start]financial[blank_end] plan
