The  final project for this class is a multimedia presentation to the mayor  and city council of a city that is trying to entice a professional team  to move to their city (e.g., NFL, NBA, WNBA, NWSL, NHL, etc.). You are  the vice president of finance for a consulting firm that has been hired  by the mayor and city council to give them a detailed analysis of what  it would take to entice a team to move to their city. You are a member  of the five person team that will conduct the analysis and make a  presentation to the mayor and city council. Your responsibility is to  provide the financial analysis for the project which includes the  construction of a sports venue to accommodate the team.

For  this assignment you will develop the year one operating budget. You will  also complete a year one through five revenue and expense profit/loss  forecast both of which will become part of your final presentation.  Review the information on operating budgets and forecasting in your  resources. The numbers used in this assignment are to be a realistic  estimate based on your research of similar projects. Use a spreadsheet  application such as Excel for this assignment. Provide at least one  graph on both the budget and the forecast to help the mayor and city  council better understand the information that you are providing.
