Every quarter, Advantexe’s Business Acumen modeling team meets to discuss the core interest and inflation rate in our Business Acumen Simulations.

“I guess we better make the adjustment and raise them again,” said our top modeler very matter-of-factly. So, beginning this week, the core interest rate in our core (non-customized) Business simulations will go to 5.25% and the core inflation rate will go to 3.5%. As our participants run their simulated companies, that means foundational Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), raw materials, and labor will continue to rise.

The goal of our business acumen simulations is to help our participants better understand business concepts so they can explore the simulation and bring their lessons back to their real-world decision-making.
