I have created a number of exercises that work through on a step by step basis how to create financial models; how to perfom risk analysis; how to create Monte Carlo Simulation; how to analyze cost of capital and valuation multiples; how to construct real options analysis and other issues. Rather than working through large and complex exercises that include a whole lot of different aspects of models, these exercises evaluate small parts of analyses that focus on the mechanics of constructing analyses. Many of the exercises are discussed in chapter 2 of my book which addresses financial modelling. Most of the exercies include a button with a macro that allows you to complete the exercise along with explanations of what to enter in each cell. The video explanation below demonstrates how to work with one of the exercies and check whether you have understood the programming required for the financials models.

Hundreds of exercises are included on this site. The exercises are separated into the following categories which are included on separate pages:


 * Exercises to for creating flexible graphs


 * Exercises to create **CORPORATE FINANCE MODELS** (analysis with financial statement history, residual values and DCF valuation)


 * Exercises to create **PROJECT FINANCE MODELS** (analysis with construction and operation phases that evaluate IRR, DSCR and cash flow over the life of a project)


 * Exercises to create //M&A models// (analyses that build pro-forma sheets and evaluate the costs and benefits of mergers in alternative manners)


 * Exercises for scenario, sensitivity, tornado diagrams etc -- adds non-mathematical risk to models (break-even analysis, scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, spider diagrams, tornado diagrams)


 * Exercises for Real Estate Models


 * Exercises to include Monte Carlo simulation into financial models


 * Exercises to work with Price Data


 * Exercises to evaluate cost of capital, DCF adjustments, P/E ratios, EV/EBITDA ratios and other factor


 * Exercises to perform statistical analysis on stock prices and other economic data


 * Exercises to compute the value of financial options


 * Exercises to evaluate real options in financial models


 * Exercises to compute the value of debt
