Demonstration · Executive Intelligence · 3 steps

From a what-if to a board resolution

Test an acquisition under assumptions, compare the options, and settle the resolution put to the board.

Example: Dunmore Building Services (fictional) · Chief executive. Fictional data and a scripted answer.

What happened
The board will decide next month whether to acquire a smaller competitor, partner with it, or build the capability itself.
The question
What does the acquisition do to profit, which route should we favour, and what wording do we put to the board?

The journey, step by step

Simulation. A scripted journey on fictional data, not produced by a live model. Each step uses what you decided in the steps before it, and only the figures are computed.

  1. What the acquisition does to profitChange the assumptions the case rests on and see the effect on annual profit.Open

    Change the assumptions the case rests on and see the effect on annual profit.

    Change the assumptions. Every result and the answer below are recomputed from them, and a warning appears when a result crosses a stated limit.

    Assumptions you can change
    80%
    GBP 2,000,000
    7%
    Profit added, with savings
    GBP 4,016,000Target revenue 28,000,000 at a 9% margin.
    Annual cost of the money
    GBP 2,240,000Price 32,000,000.
    Net annual effect on profit
    GBP 1,776,000

    On these assumptions the deal adds GBP 4,016,000 and costs GBP 2,240,000 a year to finance: net GBP 1,776,000.

    The result turns on how much revenue stays and how real the savings are [S1]. Move both before reading the net as a verdict.
