Stage 1 (2022) "More Fun in Funcity"

This is a real-life example of an FMWC stage case.

Description
Financial Modeling World Cup is an annual competition dedicated to financial modeling with a view of promoting healthy competition and education. FMWC challenges participants through a range of different types of questions. To answer everything correctly and win prizes, it takes a wide spectrum of skills and knowledge related to financial modeling. The competition is structured in a way that each participant accumulates points during the season by participating in as many Stages as they desire. At the end of the season (December), the overall winners are announced and the prize fund is distributed. Additional monthly prize money is distributed to the best performing participants of each stage.

More Fun in Funcity is an actual case from the Financial Modeling World Cup 2022, Stage 1 (January 28-31) competition. This case is using the same city map as in one of the cases that were played in the quarterfinals of the FMWC Open. The same playground, but a completely different set of questions – no advantage to the players who might be familiar with the case. The last question in this case awards 200 points. It could take a while to solve, but if the structure of your model is efficient right from the start, then this should be worth the time spent. Solving this case is more based on Excel modeling rather than financial knowledge.

The downloadable file consists of the following:
-Task: PDF file with Case Materials; PDF file with Questions; Excel file with Case Assumptions
-Solution: Excel file with full Solution Model; PDF file with correct Answers in Bold

This model awarded 350 regular points + 200 extra points, while the whole 2h Stage allowed to earn 1,250 points in total.
