Course Overview

Agribusiness is globalising and attracting more private investment. The importance of land valuation, professional management of farmland, and the requirements of capital investment are the key drivers of investment success. Effective investment, however, requires proper modelling, and this course is the key to understanding how to use Excel to optimise the value of an agribusiness investment. Covering the crucial areas of Excel techniques, model structure, forecasting and risk assessment, delegates build and eventually take away from this course with a fully-functioning agribusiness model, as well as a host of other case studies, examples of models, and model-building skills.

Using Excel for modelling ■ Worksheet organization ■ Data input, management and verification ■ Use of colour/add-ins ■ Naming of cells ■ Location of input variables ■ Review of Excel functions and their use ■ Macros and their use ■ Goal seeking ■ Optimisation ■ Circularity and how to resolve it ■ Working with range names ■ Graphs and charts ■ What is needed from Excel and what is

superfluous ■ Principles of spreadsheets and workbooks

Case Study: Evaluating good and bad Excel financial models 2. Bank and PE House perspectives ■ DSCR and other critical bank ratios and

how to model them ■ Equity NPV/ IRR and project IRR and how

to model them ■ Modelling cash flow and ratios: ■ Allowing for accountancy - depreciation, tax

and capital allowances

Case Study: Examples of Excel project modelling

Day 2 3. Building an agribusiness investment model Delegates will construct and use an agribusiness investment model. This group exercise will include: ■ Creating model inputs from management and

legal documentation ■ Using Excel Scenario Manager to analyse alter-

native investment strategies ■ Forecasting operating revenues and costs ■ Loan assessment criteria ■ Modelling loan amortization ■ IRR NPV and other valuation analysis ■ Methods of handling risk ■ Using @RISK to analyse the risks of the model
