DestinationClubForums.com is proud to announce the release of their new One Key - Comprehensive Membership Analysis Tool (version 1.0).

Rather than create a single Excel spreadsheet template that encompasses every Destination Club, we decided to focus our efforts on creating the ultimate membership analysis tool for individuals considering membership in One Key as there are many unique variables that are unique to this club.

The Excel spreadsheet templates has all the One Key membership fees and options already entered and users can manipulate several variables and observe the immediate changes in the variety of reporting categories. This single file will work with all versions of Microsoft Excel.

There are two different worksheet tabs to allow different forecasts for a variety of purposes depending on the individual opinion on the value of the cost of capital for membership. There are several situations where this may or may not be beneficial.

The First worksheet tab (One Key Membership Analysis) is the simplest and cleanest layout as it presents data to an individual that is not interested in factoring any capital costs for the membership fees. This analysis only requires user input for the anticipated "Peak travel period" (number of nights).

The Second worksheet tab (Capital Costs) is more complex as it presents data to an individual that is interested in factoring capital costs for the membership fees and this rate is Compounded Annually. This analysis requires user input for the anticipated "Cost of capital," the anticipated "Duration of membership" and the anticipated number of "Peak travel period" nights.

Please download this file, experiment with the variables, and post your opinion, observations, problems, bugs, or suggestions here.
