Lesson 3 Chapter 10 378 10 Chapter رة ا Ministry of Education 2024-1446 Business Decision Making S1 S2 S3.indb 378 Practicing with Scenario Manager Imagine you have an uncle who works for a large company. He has a good job and makes SAR 300,000 a year. At age 60, which he will be in three years, he must retire from his company and start drawing his pension. DEFINITION Pension: A regular payment received by retired people to support living costs. However, the company has an early-out plan in which employees are paid to retire early. The company pays all employees in the plan a bonus in the year they retire and each year thereafter, until their official retirement date. If your uncle left the company early, he could find a part-time job to make ends meet in the years before taking his normal pension. The opportunity to leave early is open for three years after the end of the current year, which is now ending. That means your uncle could leave the company any time in the next three years, and receive the early-out bonuses in the years he has retired early. If he works another year, he would lose the bonus for that year. If he works two more years, he would lose two years of early-out bonuses, and so on until he must retire. Your uncle is also deciding whether to continue his gym membership. He likes the gym's amenities, but it is expensive. The retirement decision can be revisited each year, but the decision about the gym membership must be made now. If your uncle does not withdraw now, he will remain a member (and be charged) indefinitely. Your uncle asks you to make a spreadsheet model of his situation in Scenario Manager. Your spreadsheet would let him play "what if?" with the possibilities and see his various projected personal finances for each of the next three years. With each scenario, your uncle wants to know what cash on hand will be avail- able for each year in the period. 30/06/2023 14:28

Remember that your Summary of business indicators, Calculations, and Income statement and Cash flow state- ment section cells must show values by using cell formulas, so do not type amounts in those sections. Also, do not use the address of a cell if its contents are "NA" in any of your formulas. Use the spreadsheet (Chapter 10 data file 2.xlsx), you can find it by scanning the QR code. 3-1 Constants Section This section explains the contents of the spreadsheet's Constants section (see Figure 10-28).

Salary Increase Factor Your uncle's salary, as of the current working year (Year 0), is SAR 300,000 and raises are expected each subsequent year; for example, a 3% raise is expected in the upcoming year (Year 1). If your uncle does not retire in a year, he will get his salary (including a raise) for the next year. 2. Part-time Wages Expected (Retired) For the next three years, your uncle has estimated what his part-time wages would be when he is retired from the company and working part-time (Years 1-3). For example, he thinks he could earn SAR 37,500 in part-time wages in Year 1 if he retired. 3. Buyout Amount The amounts for the company's preretirement plan are shown. For example, if your uncle retires now (and does not work for the company in Years 1-3), he gets SAR 168,750, SAR 112,500, and SAR 37,500 in those years. If he works another year and leaves before Year 2 starts, he will give up the SAR 168,750 payment for Year 1 but will get SAR 112,500 and SAR 37,500 in Years 2 and 3.

Cost of Living (Not Retired) Your uncle has estimated how much cash he needs to meet his living expenses, assuming he continues to work for the company. His cost of living would be SAR 41,000 in Year 1, increasing each year thereafter. 5. Gym Dues Gym dues will be SAR 45,000 for Year 1. Dues increase each year thereafter, as shown. 3-2 Inputs Section This section explains the contents of the spreadsheet's Inputs section (see Figure 10-29).

If he is working the next three years, you should enter the pattern "W W W" in cells C10:E10. If he plans to retire now you would enter the pattern "R R R". If he works for one year and then retires, you should enter the pattern "W R R". 2. Stay in Gym? If your uncle remains a member of the gym, you should enter a "Y" in cell C11. If your uncle leaves the gym now, you should enter an "N". The deci- sion applies to Years 1-3. 30/06/2023 14:28

Cost of Living In any year that your uncle continues to work for the company, his cost of living is the amount shown in the Cost of living (not retired) field of the Constants section (C6:E6). But, if he chooses to retire, his cost of living will be SAR 56,250 less than the amount shown in C6:E6. 2. Yearly Salary or Part-time Wages If your uncle keeps working, his salary will increase each year (due to expected pay rises). The yearly percentage increases are shown in the Constants section.

Gym Dues Paid If your uncle leaves the gym, the dues are zero each year; otherwise, the dues are as shown in the Constants section. 3-5 Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement Section As in the previous example, this section begins with the cash on hand at the beginning of the year, followed by the income statement, and concluding with the calculation of cash on hand at the end of the year.

Your uncle wants to look at the following four possibilities: . retire now, stay in the gym ("Retire-In"). • retire now, leave the gym ("Retire-Out"). work three more years (that is, do not take any buyout bonuses), staying in the gym ("Delay-In") • work three more years, leave the gym ("Delay-Out"). You should enter the non-contiguous input cell ranges as follows: C10:E10, C11. The only output cell should be the Year 3 End-of-year cash on hand cell in the Summary of business indicators section. Your uncle knows that the highest Year 3 End-of-year cash on hand would be realized if he continues to work and cancels his gym membership. However, he wants to see what the End-of-year cash would be in the other scenarios. These will help him decide if he can retire, and when. The Scenario Summary (Figure 10-33), presents the four different options that your uncle is considering. The four scenarios are shown in columns C-F. Row 10. shows the amount of cash your uncle would expect to have at the end of Year 3 for each of these options. For many decisions, the choice isn't as simple as pick- ing the scenario with the highest (or lowest) value. Your uncle would like to retire early, and he would like to maintain his gym membership. Your decision model gives your uncle a projection for each of these scenarios. It will be up to him to decide how much cash on hand he is willing to sacrifice for the enjoyment of an early retirement. He will need to determine if he can afford to maintain the gym membership and take the early buyout. Decision Support System Fundamentals 383 30/06/2023 14:28
