Section 1: Executive summary:This section should never exceed a single page. In this section,
you should highlight the main takeaways of your analysis.
Section 2: Analysis:In this section, you can discuss your analysis and directly answer my questions. Each question can serve as a subsection in your analysis. There is a 5-page limit of text in this section. If you would like to provide tables or figures you can create an appendix at the end of this section. Tables and figures do not count toward the 5-page limit. You MUST show all of your calculations in the appendix. Please be prepared to produce the electronic Excel file in case I ask for it. You can create your tables either from the information given in the case or from external sources of your choice. The case has sufficient information to answer all of the questions.
Regarding your recommendation, first make sure that you have one. In each case, you will be playing the role of a decision maker and you MUST decide. Playing safe with recommendation will cost you (e.g. never say things like you do not know what to do or anything is possible). Second, your recommendation must be internall yconsistent with your analysis.
