Before beginning work on this discussion post, review Chapter 16, “The

Financials,” in your textbook. You have already read this chapter during the previous week. With your review this week, specifically examine:

· “Assumption Sheet,” pages 323–324 and “Sample Plan: Assumptions,” page 332.

· “Sources and Use of Funds,” page 317 and “Sample Plan: Sources and Use of Funds,” page 331.

· “Break-Even Analysis,” pages 320–321.
