ASSUMPTIONS
2
This workbook does not include a loan payment, it will need to be calculated and added to line A33 on the "Projections" Tab
3
This workbook does not include retail projections. We view the retail as separate department within the larger Heartland Meat Co. business and a retail workbook will be reviewed during our in-person meeting.
4
Because of this, the workbook reflects only the fee-based (custom) slaughter side of the business. Retail and other sale arrangements are not accounted for in this workbook.
5
Higher costs are associated with further value-added processing, which is not accounted for in this report; however, there are selected price quotes for the value-added equipment under the "optional equipment" tab to give you an idea of the estimated equipment cost for those activities
6
This workbook does not reflect the seasonal hire of additional help, which would be necessary to reach monthly slaughter goals during the busiest months.
7
The "Construction" tab does not include a cost for A/E design as it is assumed that it will be completed by family members without cost.
