Appendix

The appendix does not count towards the limit of 5 pages max. You can add as many tables etc. you need in the appendix. This should consist of information which you have used in the analysis but do not include in the write-up above i.e. supporting information/tables/figures/formulae/calculations. For example: if you do an NPV analysis you may paste the table in the appendix but only present the final numbers in your discussion of the report. Or if you do recommend certain inventory levels you can present the formulae/calculations here while the report only discusses the relevant final numbers. Similarly, if you do a thorough risk-benefit analysis or use any frameworks that we discuss in class present the output of your analysis in tabular format here and then along with the discussion above. Please be careful that you refer to the appendix in appropriate places in the main text. Appendices which are not referred to in the text do not add value.
