Section D - Uncertainty
The following examples illustrate how a plant could complete the type of questions asked in this section. All examples
are fictional. If your forecasts do not include the level of detail requested or do not exist, please report according to
your best judgement. Estimates are acceptable.
Example A: Jane Doe is filling out this survey for Plant A. In 2015, Plant A had approximately $4,500,000 in products
shipped, with a forecast of $4,750,000 in 2016.
For calendar years 2015 and 2016, what are the approximate dollar values of products shipped, including
interplant transfers, exports and other receipts at this establishment? Exclude freight charges and excise taxes.

Example B: Jane also knows that business at Plant A is forecasted to grow approximately an additional 5% in 2017,
with predicted annual value of products shipped of $5 million. However, Jane knows there is some uncertainty with
that forecast and that the value of products shipped next year could be more or less than $5 million depending on
consumer demand, price of materials, and other uncertainties in the market. Given this uncertainty, this is how Jane
would complete the following uncertainty forecast table for Plant A's value of products shipped for 2017.
Looking ahead to the 2017 calendar year, what is the approximate dollar value of products shipped you would
anticipate for this establishment in the following scenarios, and what likelihood do you assign to each scenario?
