Abstract

This study aimed to develop a macro financial model for business financial planning (MFM-FP), and to measure the efficiency of the forecasting model. In addition, the likelihood of the risk impacting the return on equity (ROE) and financial planning guidelines was examined by using economic data, income statements, and balance sheets of agribusinesses listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand between 2016 and 2019. MFM-FP was built in the form of simultaneous equations by employing the 2SLS method. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) was used to assess the efficiency of the model, while the risk was considered by setting risk limits. DuPont analysis was brought in to build a financial plan in order to reduce the risk that could impact the ROE. The developed MFM-FP model contained 39 equations, divided into 15 identity equations, 22 behavioral equations, and 1 conditional equation; with 7 divided blocks. Ex-ante and Ex-post forecast accuracy of all financial statement factors (assessed by MAPE) were found to be no more than 3.08%. Results also showed that the forecasted ROE in Q1 of 2019 was -1.09%, which was within one standard deviation of the mean. However, if the GDP growth was -3.72%, the forecasted ROE would turn out to be -2.35%, indicating a high-risk level. Therefore, agribusinesses should mitigate the risk impacting the ROE by reducing costs, account receivables, and inventories.
