Operating model [Finance Module]
By : Abdybroto Taminsjah
The following describes the operating model of the MonsoonSIM Finance module.
Baseline:
  • Focus on how to manage money. (not yet about funds acquisition and management.)
    • Optimize profit by increasing sales (retail, b2b, e-commerce, and services.)
    • Optimize profit by decreasing expenses (overflow, penalty, and non-feasible research.)
  • There are two types of Accounting:
    • Cash
    • Accrual
  • Journal entries will record the company's transactions chronologically with an equal amount of debits and credits.
  • There are three financial reports which are more in line with GAAP (General Accepted Accounting Practice):
    • Profit & Loss
    • Balance Sheet
    • Trial Balance
  • Integrated reporting shows how a company communicates its financial and value creation performance.
  • A bank overdraft facility (standby-loan) is available for immediate drawdown when the operating cash runs out.
  • When the accumulated overdraft has reached the bank facility limit, the company may not be able to draw down any more for new purchases.
  • An overdraft will incur daily interest.
  • An overdraft will appear as a short termed liability in the Balance Sheet.
  • Overdraft payoff will use cash (from sales) to reduce interest expenses.
  • Start with initial cash for all teams.
  • Every transaction will be fully recorded and traceable in the Accounting.
  • The team will not be able to run the business anymore (bankrupt) when the cash runs out, and at the same time, the bank facility is exhausted.
  • Cash Accounting
    • Will not involve account payables and receivables.
    • Payment requires cash on hand.
    • If you made a purchase and do not have enough cash to pay upon vendor delivery, the goods will NOT arrive. You will also NOT be penalized or considered delinquent.
    • If you have an undeliverable outstanding PO due to insufficient funds, the vendors will cancel your POs. Typically, this will happen around ten days after the promised delivery day.
    • No partial payment is allowed.
  • Delinquent Payout
    • If you have exhausted your overdraft limit, any incoming dues, such as salary, rental, and goods PO, will be counted as delinquent.
    • You can find the list of your delinquent out-payments in your Finance Menu.
    • Exceeding a certain amount of outstanding delinquents will also bring about bankruptcy. This limit is configurable by the CT.
    • Every day, the system will automatically try to settle your delinquent payment, starting from one with the lowest amount, and the process will repeat daily.
  • Bankruptcy
    • When the number of delinquent payments exceeds the limit set by the CT, the team will be bankrupt.
    • Once bankrupt, the team will not be able to perform any transactions, no sales, bidding, and expenses. However, other participating teams can continue as usual.
Advanced:
  • Accrual Accounting
    • Will not involve account payables and account receivables.
    • No partial payment is allowed.
    • Payment to a vendor will comply with the vendor's terms of payment.
    • Besides payment to vendors, all other payments (salary, etc.) will not accrue.
    • The concept of Vendor Credit Limit
      • Account Payable to the vendor will decrease this credit limit.
  • Foreign currency can affect the price of an imported product. Assuming our local currency gets weaker against the foreign currency, the imported product quoted in a foreign currency will be more expensive, and vice versa.
  • Delinquent Payout
    • The number of outstanding delinquents now affects your CREDIT RATING.
  • Credit Rating
    • There are five types of credit ratings a company can get
      • Unrated - your company is not rated yet. The system will start rating on day 10.
      • DDD - if your outstanding delinquent payments exceed 20.
      • CCC - if your outstanding delinquent payments are between 10 to 20.
      • BBB - if your outstanding delinquent payments are between 1 to 10.
      • AAA - if you do not have any outstanding delinquent out-payment.
    •  AAA is the best rating that indicates your company is the most credit-trustworthy.
    • Credit Rating is critical when applying for a business loan.
  • Loan
    • There are several types of loans available. These are configurable by CT.
    • Terms - indicates the duration of the loan.
    • Base Interest - indicates the base interest usually set by the lending institutions.
    • Central Bank rate - simulates the Central Bank's inter-bank overnight lending rate. This rate is a floating rate. In MonsoonSIM, the future fluctuations are accurately predicted and can be viewed in the Forecast menu.
    • Effective rate = Base Interest + Central Bank's rate.
    • Fully amortization - where the loan is being paid off based on an equal amount at every period. This amount consists of an ever-increasing principal portion and an ever-decreasing interest portion. 
    • Interest only - where the loan is being paid off based on interest only at every period and a lump sum of principal at the very end of the term. (Balloon payment)
    • A loan in MonsoonSIM is a long-term payable in accounting.
    • Current Ratio Requirement
      • It is one of the requirements to obtain a loan.
      • Its definition is total asset divided by total liability.
      • One can find the current ratio from the Business Intelligence menu. It appears in Finance Section.
    • Credit Rating Requirement
      • Credit Rating is one of the requirements to obtain a loan.
  • Crisis
    • Happens when the economic environment is turbulent.
    • Will affect the overall demand of the game, fees, interest rates, forex rates, and account receivable delay dates.
    • Has four recovery shapes, U, V, L, and W. V represents the fastest crisis period, while L represents a lengthier period.
    • Has few attributes, including:
      • Interest,
      • Retail demand,
      • Inflation,
      • B2B demand,
      • Transport company fee,
      • Forex (foreign currency/local currency), and
      • Account receivable delay.
    • High inflation will cause an increase in price, with a higher inflation percentage means a higher increase in price
    • An increase in account receivable delay means a lengthier waiting period for teams to receive their unpaid account receivable.
Players can analyze the financial performance and other intelligence by carefully examining the information from the Business Intelligence module.
