VIII. Appendix

A. Appendices (additional spreadsheets)
B. Important supplemental information
C. Notes, credentials, and references

The appendix of the report should include supplemental tables, spreadsheets, charts, and information- that are related to the analysis and descriptions in the report's body-that will provide the reviewer with a greater understanding of the project. Some examples of supplemental information, which will be highly dependent on the type of business being studied, might include:

• Background information on assumptions used in the analysis if not fully described in the body of the study (some might be derived from potential spreadsheet data given as examples here).
• Monthly inventory tracking spreadsheets for commodities to be handled, purchased,processed, sold etc.
• Monthly sales price spreadsheets for commodities to be handled, purchased, processed, sold, etc.
• Capital purchase and depreciation schedules for land, buildings, equipment, parts, etc.
• Employee schedules and salary/wage information for any staff that will be hired management, sales representatives, administrative staff, warehouse personnel, laborers, etc.).
• Debt repayment schedules for different categories of borrowing (real estate, equipment, working capital, etc.).
• Pro forma financial statements (cash flow, operating, balance sheet, etc,) for different scenarios studied, but that weren't a major focus in the body of the report.
• Other industry or territorial information, such as commodity or product alternative uses and sources, commodity processing yield data, demographic data, competitive data and mapping, etc.
• Credentials of those involved in developing or assisting with the study.
• References used in the study and resources that will be useful as the project progresses.

In some cases, this stated supplemental information will have been addressed in the study's main sections, so it won't have to be included in the appendix unless more information is deemed to be required.
