Build an Auditable Discounted Cash Flow Scenario Application

Turn a documented operating forecast into an enterprise-value range. Expose cash-flow timing, reinvestment, discount-rate assumptions, and terminal-value dependence.

What you are building

Two year-end cash flows of 110 and 121 have a combined present value of 200 at 10%. Build a discounted cash flow model that reproduces that check, then separates forecast-period value from terminal value. Export the operating assumptions and show which ones drive the range. The two payments are not a complete company forecast.

Rules

An illustrative value range is not an investment recommendation or certified appraisal. No fabricated records, source citations, professional endorsements, or expert-adjudication claims. No future-data leakage into dated decisions, model fitting, or historical valuation inputs. No unauthorized payments, account restrictions, regulatory filings, or production changes. No automated appraisal certification, tax-compliance determination, or unsupported fraud accusation. No concealed uncertainty or silently invented inputs required for a numerical conclusion.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

100-point weighted review with safety gates. Visible starter cases do not establish full application correctness.

Submission format

A formula-transparent valuation workbook. A scenario report with the dominant assumptions and unresolved evidence. Runnable local application, setup commands, and a dependency lockfile. Versioned input data, data dictionary, acquisition instructions, and rights notes. Calculation traces, source references, assumption records, and exported review artifacts. A deterministic baseline and tests for normal, incomplete, contradictory, and failure-recovery cases. A recorded complete workflow with a reproducible manifest and explicit limitations.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Learning goals

  • Reconcile forecast assumptions to a cash-flow bridge.

  • Discount firm cash flows under the stated timing convention.

  • Calculate terminal value with feasibility checks.

  • Export scenario sensitivities and an assumption approval record.

Resources

Dataset notes

3 attached datasets, including two visible synthetic starter cases. VAL-02 and VAL-04 simplified forecast and claim inputs. Not filings or observed market prices. The fixture ZIP supplies synthetic exercise inputs. It does not supply independently verified real-world records.
