Financial Modelling Review

 1) How would you describe the success of  your model?  

Did it show the amount of money the park will make over a 12 month period (1 March to 28 Feb *game year).

Did it help you to accurately show how your park is operating now, and possibly predict what may happen in the future?

Did you include all of the necessary features into the model including;

·         Absolute and Relative Cell Referencing
·         Conditional Formatting
·         Formula
·         IF Statement
·         Validation 

2) How does your model work. Describe two main variables in your model (inputs) and two main outputs giving examples?

3) Evaluate the decision to build a new rollercoaster/ride based on the results of your model. Would this be a sensible thing to do?

If not, what could be done to improve the success of your model
