Micro Tools
A question.
A calculation.
The working shown.
Start with the question you were asked. Each tool does a specific job, with the calculation and its assumptions there to inspect.

Where is cash tied up?
The profit is there and the cash is not. This turns a change in the days you collect, hold and pay into the cash it would release.
Is this project worth doing?
One figure rarely settles it. These judge a project on its return, and on how much of that return survives the range of things that could happen.
Can I trust this forecast, or this model?
Before you present a figure, know how the last one behaved and how the workbook behind it is built.
