Percentage of Sales: looking at past 3
yr. data
Inventory was 13.5, 12.8, and 14.2 % of sales
for yr1, yr2 & yr3 respectively. On average,
inventory has been 13.5 % of sales. Thus,
given the sales forecast of Rs. 350 crores,
inventory is forecasted to be 0.135(350) = Rs.
47.3 crore
On average accounts payable has been 8.7 %
of sales; thus, accounts payable is estimated to
be 0.087(350) =Rs. 30.5 crore
Amiya Sahu, GIM, 2014
Methods
Ratios:
Assuming all sales were on credit and a 365 day year,
the firm took 38, 40, and 43 days for collection of
receivables in yr1, yr2 & yr3 respectively.
Given these ratios and some planned improvements in
the billing and collection processes, management
believes that next years receivables will be collected
in 40 days, on average.
Thus, next years receivables is forecasted to be 40
(350/365) = Rs. 38.4 crore.
The firms profit margin averaged 5.4 %. Using this
three-year average, net income for 2015 is forecasted
to be 0.054($350) = Rs. 18.9 crore
Amiya Sahu, GIM, 2014
Methods
Regression: The cash balances is plotted
against sales and the "best fit" lines drawn in y =
0.05 (sales) + 0.93. This statistical relationship
along with the sales forecast of Rs. 350 can be
can be used to forecast the new level of cash.
2015 forecasted cash will be Rs. 18.5 crore = 0.93 +
0.05(350).
Unless the intercept term in the regression equation is
close to zero, the percent of sales method and the
regression technique will give slightly different
estimates.

Assumptions!
This is a key step but most tend to skip it
Understand the companys business model,
its future plans and develop a set of
comprehensive assumptions
Just some assumptions will not do
Forecasting line items
Regression does not work well
Most models are Sales-driven forecasting
Information Sources
Historical relationships
Should be reasonable to be extended into
future period (remain same as past!)
Management forecasts
Could be biased
Industry data
Wide range of firms within an industry
Good judgement
Inexperience/ poor knowledge
Addressing Uncertainties
Range of expected performance
Best/ worst possible outcomes
