Use Yahoo! Finance (Links to an external site.) or the EDGAR | Company Filings (Links to an external site.)database to download the last 10Q from Starbucks into excel. Use the downloaded data to complete the Income Statement and Balance Sheet. Assume the following:

Please note it says template. However there's no template for the balance/income proformas.

The only template is for the analysis tab it is set up like this

Q4 20NN Q1 20NN. Amount. Per variance

Name line item.

• Sales will increase for the next quarter by the same percentage increase from the previous quarter to the last reported quarter. For example, if sales increased 8% from the last quarter to the current reported quarter, you will use 8% as the sales increase for your pro formas.

Calculate the expenses to determine what will change and what will remain the same.

Note: Not all costs are associated with the cost of sales. It will be up to you to determine which line items need to be increased and which ones need to be left alone. This will require you to distinguish between fixed and variable costs. For a reminder of the difference between fixed and variable costs, please watch the video Business Costs (Fixed Costs and Variable Costs) Explained (Links to an external site.).

Within each line item expense explain your rationale, as well as provide a brief summary.

Part 2

Then, calculate a quarterly variance analysis using the Variance Analysis tab of the Financial Forecasting Template (the same template you used for Part 1). Complete the following in your variance analysis:

• In the Excel template, insert the line items.
• In Column C, (Q4, 20NN) enter the previous quarters numbers as the budget.
• In Column D, (Q1, 20NN) enter the current quarters actual numbers.
• In Column E, the spreadsheet will calculate the dollar difference between the budget and actual numbers.
• In Column F, the spreadsheet will calculate the percentage change.
• In Column G, analyze and speculate the rationale for the variances.
