The two biggest features of this model:

1. Dynamically change the % of monthly sales that result in a re-purchase and determine the amount of months re-purchasing lasts for.

2. Dynamically change how you want to plan your cash requirements for inventory purchases. This is driven by the projected amount of unit sales, and two inputs define the month of cash outflow and the amount of months that outflow will be for.

Everything else in the model is fairly straightforward. You have a monthly and annual roll-up, fixed monthly cost assumptions, financing assumptions, and IRR leveraged and non-leveraged.

There are some nice visuals to see how your scenario looks and how well you can tell the story of you projection over the next 5 years.

Cash flow planning is the most useful case for this financial model.
