Abstract:
A graphing system (FIG.  2 ) and method ( 200 ) for generating a one-page multi-Y axis graph ( 207 ) for analyzing alternate scenarios. The WHATIF SYSTEM can generate a one-page multi-Y axis graph using input from a spreadsheet file ( 208 ). The WHATIF SYSTEM can also generate a one-page multi-Y axis graph using input from one or more sets of financial project profitability measures ( 203 ). The WHATIF SYSTEM allows the user to generate a BASE CASE file ( 201 ) of a projects financial description. The BASE CASE file is simulated by the SIMULATE function ( 202 ) producing a set of profitability measures ( 203 ): Internal Rate of Return on Investment (IRROI) before taxes, IRROI after taxes, Internal Rate of Return on Equity (IRROE) after taxes, payback period, minimum equity, minimum loan, and minimum period required to repay debt. A file named WHATIF ( 204 ) defines percentage adjustments to be automatically applied to the BASE CASE file by the AUTOMATE function ( 205 ). The GRAPH function ( 206 ) generates a one-page multi-Y axis graph ( 207 ) displaying a graph of a spreadsheet file or a graph of financial metrics and profitability measures.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer implemented method for generating a one-page multi-Y axis graph for strategic planning and optimization, the method comprising the steps of:\n a) calculating one or more than one profitability measure; b) selecting at least one profitability measure that is to be examined; c) associating a first column of a first selected sensitivity report with a Y-axis; d) determining a base case from the sensitivity report selected; e) drawing a bold line across a Y-axis of the graph showing the base case; associating changed assumptions from the selected sensitivity report with the X-axis on the one-page multi-Y axis graph; g) determining an equal range of profitability and plotting the equal steps on a horizontal X-axis; h) distributing different sensitivity values shown on the sensitivity report on a left side of the vertical Y-axis; i) plotting a curve using the coordination points between the values on the Y-axis and on the X-axis for each of the sensitivity values shown in the sensitivity report; j) adding a label for the curve; k) determining if there are any more sensitivity reports or profitability measures remaining to be plotted, if there are more to be plotted, then drawing tick marks near the Y-axis; and l) repeating step I) through k) until all data is plotted.
