The following is the financial plan for Hamlin and Park Design.
7.1 Important Assumptions
The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table as annual assumptions. The monthly assumptions are included in the appendix. From the beginning, we recognize that collection days are critical, but not a factor we can influence easily. At least we are planning on the problem, and dealing with it. Interest rates, tax rates, and personnel burden are based on conservative assumptions. Some of the more important underlying assumptions are:
We assume a strong economy, without major recession.
We assume, of course, that there are no unforeseen changes in the economy that would change our estimations.
