Report Style
Company–Tesco UK

1. Obtain the last 5 years audited Annual Report and Accounts for your chosen company. Place labelled hard copies of the information specified in (BRIEFING NOTES (i)) in an Appendix to your report.

2. Read the Directors’ reports and Chairman’s Statements for the last 5 years. Explain the Business Model of the company and how it has changed over the 5 years under review.
Also: critically locate your company in the context of competitors or other comparable companies.
See BRIEFING NOTE (ii). 360 words

3. Using the specified left to right 5 year format summarise the Income Statements over the last 5 years.
Also: in as clear a manner as possible neatly schedule:
• revenue growth per year
• average annual revenue growth rate
• annual gross margin (if available)
• annual operating margin (before Exceptional items, if applicable)
• annual operating margin (after Exceptional items)
• Interest cover
See BRIEFING NOTE (iii)

4. In numerical terms only: using your own words: summarise the historic profitability of the company and explain how the published numbers relate to each other. Highlight trends, key numerical issues and any standout features.
Base your comments solely upon the numerical data shown in (iii) and do not attempt to link any of the numbers to the business model yet.
Your answer should clearly demonstrate that you understand revenue and gross margin drive gross profit; gross profit and indirect costs drive operating profit; and that operating profit and all the other items listed below operating profit drive the reported profit for the year.
See BRIEFING NOTE (iv). 200 words

5. By linking the numbers with the business model activity and wider business environment: critically explore and explain why Revenue has behaved as it has done so over the past 5 years. Ensure that any published Segmental Split information is used to assist the analysis.
Ensure that robust links between the numbers and the business model are established, quantified and critically explored: with higher marks being awarded for scripts that carry a “sense of proof”.
See BRIEFING NOTE (v). 300 words

6. By linking the published numbers and calculated metrics with actual business model activity and the wider business environment: critically explore and explain why other key aspects of the Income Statement have behaved as they have done so over the past 5 years. Ensure that relevant margins, KPIs and drivers are used to assist the analysis.
Ensure that robust links between the numbers and the business model are established, quantified and critically explored: with higher marks being awarded for scripts that carry a “sense of proof”.
See BRIEFING NOTE (vi). 360 words

7. Critically compare the Income Statement performance of your company with your chosen comparator companies.
Highlight similarities but ensure that all major variances are explained in business model terms and critically reflected upon.
Please do not compare companies of differing sizes solely using absolute amounts, such analysis is generally meaningless. Use absolute amounts to establish relative size differentials – but after establishing relative sizes use metrics such as growth rates and margins to compare.
This question is asking you to explain how and why your company is different from other comparable companies. Strong answers will link the numbers and metrics with the business model.
See BRIEFING NOTE (vii). 360 words

8. Using the specified left to right 5 year format summarise the Cash Flow Statement over the last 5 years.
See BRIEFING NOTE (vii).

9. Critically summarise the key features of the Cash Flow: making sure that robust links with the Income Statement, business model and financing structure are made.
See BRIEFING NOTE (viii). 220 words

10. Informed by your work above: draft an Executive summary in your own words and written in bullet point form that:
• States the name of the chosen company: and the period under review.
• Very briefly summarises key Income Statement data (and metrics) over the past 5 years.
• Very briefly summarises key Cash Flow data (and metrics) over the past 5 years.
• Highlights the key critical findings of the Fundamental Analysis that you have undertaken. Such findings must robustly link the numbers to the business model.
See BRIEFING NOTE (ix). 200 words

This is an activity on apportionment of costs, breakeven analysis and marginal cost pricing.

At the end of this activity you should be able to:-
• Apportion fixed costs to several products
• Use breakeven analysis to help to determine the effects of different prices
• Judge when apportioned fixed costs may be misleading in decisions about pricing
• Use Excel to create models and charts

You will work on this task in your groups during the pod session in Phase 2 Week 3, but you are required to produce an individual report, outside of this pod session. You may use group calculated data, charts and diagrams, but you MUST write and present the report on your own, using your own words.

The Task
As a newly appointed graduate management trainee you have been asked by the marketing director of Fitzroy Court to produce a short report for the board of directors including models in Excel that allow the directors to consider various pricing options.

Your report should make recommendations about the pricing of all three apartment types being built by the company for weekly rental. In order to make these recommendations your report will have to include:

1. As required by the directors, a note of the break-even points for the upper and lower selling prices for each type of apartment per week

2. Also as required by the directors, calculations of expected net profit per week for each apartment type, at the upper and lower proposed selling prices.

3. As suggested by Katrina, recommendations as to how the cost data should be used in setting prices.

The figures you use to support your report must be clearly presented, properly formatted and correctly described. The directors may ask you to explain your calculations. You will certainly need to use a tabular presentation for some of the data; it will probably help to make things clearer if you use diagrams and/or charts as well.

Submission
Submit an Excel file which includes your report and calculations to your cohort BREO site before the first pod session of Phase 2 Week 5.

Assessment
This individual piece of work accounts for 10% of your Phase 2 marks.

Good pieces of work will show most or all the following characteristics:
• Accurate apportionment of fixed costs and calculation of variable costs
• Accurate calculation of break-even points and profits
• Effective use of MS Excel
• Clear, accurately labelled data presentations
• Well argued commentary on the rationale for the proposed pricing structure

Fitzroy Court – Details
Universal Marketing plc are the developers of a new apartment and leisure complex called Fitzroy Court which is located in the West Country of England. The company needs to decide on a price per apartment per week for the holiday apartments which they are about to offer for rent.

The board of directors have asked that all fixed costs should be apportioned (i.e. shared out) on the basis of the total number of rooms in each apartment. Katrina Petrova, the marketing director, has some doubts about the validity of such calculations for pricing purposes; she agrees that fixed costs must of course be considered in evaluating profits, but she thinks that once you are committed to fixed costs, these should be ignored in setting prices.

The directors have carried out market research and obtained data on prices charged by competitiors for similar apartments, and wish to use this for initial modelling. They would like to establish:
1. The break-even point for each type of apartment if rented at the upper or lower ends of the price ranges.
2. The weekly profit or loss for each type of apartment.
3. Expected total annual profit or loss for the venture, assuming full occupancy.
4. Recommendations for action if their figures indicate low season losses on rental.

The directors have produced the attached information regarding costs, size of apartments and maximum occupancy to help with your calculations.

Notes

Some variable costs are expressed per room and apartments have more than one room; others are expressed per occupant.

Prices quoted are for “high” and “low” season. The summer season would usually cost more than autumn or winter; the last week in December would be more expensive too. It would certainly be possible to model this by looking at similar companies to see how prices are changed during each week of the year. It is possible, however that taking the mean (simple average) of the high and low season prices will approximate such modelling over a full year (in other words, you can probably assume approximately 26 weeks of high season, and 26 weeks of low season).

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are two important rights individuals have in the United States. Today, there are so many news outlets featured on the radio, television, cable, and the Internet that are competing for our attention to the degree that some news media emphasize very sensitive and controversial subjects as a means to simply attract an audience. Some individuals criticize this practice as being harmful to society. Yet, others claim it is appropriate to report this type of speech in such a fashion. Research the topic, Freedom of the Press, and write a research paper that explains your views on freedom of the press and whether this trend toward reporting sensitive topics does or does not have a negative impact on some work environments. Make sure that your paper has the following components: Introduction – State your thesis and the purpose of your research paper clearly. What is the chief reason you are writing the paper? State also how you plan to approach your topic. Is this a factual report, a book review, a comparison, or an analysis of a problem? Explain briefly the major points you plan to cover in your paper and why readers should be interested in your topic. Body – Present your arguments to support your thesis statement. This should be one to three paragraphs in length. Conclusion – Restate or reword your thesis. Summarize your arguments. Explain why you have come to this particular conclusion.
