FINANCIAL ASPECT
This chapter shows the financial aspect of the business evaluating the company’s
projected financial position and performance. Under this aspect, the proponents of the study will
be presenting the business’ initial project cost, sources of financing, assumptions, and projected
financial statement for 5 years accompanied by supporting notes and schedules to financial
statements. An analysis of the business’ liquidity and profitability through financial ratios will be
performed. A breakeven point analysis, and investment analysis will also be presented and
discussed in this study in order to determine the feasibility of the proposed project.
The initial project cost in mobilizing the business was determined by the proponents and
is presented in the table below. Accompanying notes will be provided to show how each value
was determined.
The total cost to establish and operate Bows Eye Leisure & Café would amount to
₱ 587,549.50. The proponents decided to finance the business partner’s investment. The place
where of the business will be rented and prepaid rent expense will be included in the prepaid
expenses. In the table presented above, it can be noted that 61.72% of the cost to establish the
business is attributable to the capitalized interior design and equipment which will be subjected
to depreciation. Other proponents of the project cost includes cleaning supplies, store and office
supplies as well as organizational and legal costs which in aggregate is 4.44% of the entire
project cost.
The proponents assume that there would be prepaid expenses in starting up the business,
Hence, prepaid expenses is created as part of the initial project cost. Prepayments includes the
prepaid telephone expense and a prepaid advertising expense. Furthermore, the proponents will
be renting a 2-story building in order to conduct the business. The building will be renovated,
where the interior design will be capitalized and considered as part of the property and
equipment. The rental will be at ₱96,000. The proponents paid two (2) months of rent in advance
The location of the warehouse is leased at ₱96,000.00 per month with 2 floors, restroom,
and a parking space. The lease agreement include a non-major installations for renovation and
interior design to the property since it is supposed to be for warehouse purposes only. As
aforementioned, the leased agreement will be classified as a monthly rental and will only be
placed as a prepaid rent at the beginning and a rent expense at for every month of rent payment.
In the table below, the renovation for the building will be capitalized and will be depreciated in
accordance to its estimated useful life. Furniture and Fixtures includes all movable and
immovable items necessary in conducting the business. The emergency related fixtures includes
In addition, the value of Equipment includes all office equipment and business
equipment, as well as all materials that are necessary to Archery. Fire extinguishers and the tools
The amount for organizational and legal costs presented in the study is an estimated
budget as to how much would be spent in processing the necessary papers such as SEC
Registration, Barangay Clearance, Mayor’s Permit, BIR Registration, Fire Safety Inspection Fee,
and other legal matters considering the proper preparation of the business and all the process that
would ready the business to operate. The proponents’ estimated value is ₱16,000.00.
Sources of Financing
A business entity in order to start its establishment needs to have a start-up amount. And
in preparing this value, the business could look for different sources of financing. However, in
this proposal, the partners would be each contribute to the partnership. The contributed capital
Based on the previous section, the total start-up cost of the business is valued at
₱587,549.50. Therefore, the partners would approximately need ₱600,000 to start the business.
The partners would be investing a ₱120,000 each to supply 100% of the needed capital.
In the partnership contract and agreement created and signed by the partner, they all have
agreed to contribute equal amounts of cash of ₱120,000 making them as capitalist partners of the
partnership. It was further agreed that they will also offer their services to the partnership as
industrial partners. The duties and responsibilities of the partners have been presented in Chapter
2 Management Aspect of this paper. No bonus was discussed in the partnership agreement, and
the partners will be equally sharing the profits of the entity giving each partner a profit sharing
ratio of 1/5. In terms of their loss sharing ratio, the partners have agreed to follow the ratios in
Furthermore, in case of liquidity, the partners agreed that the residual value after paying
all of the partnership’s creditors and other liabilities will be divided proportionate to the ending
assumptions which were based on industry data. The industry data were derived from different
Revenues
According to Statista (2021), sports and outdoor related businesses has a projected
compound annual growth rate of 16.38% and has a projected revenue growth rate of 33.80% for
2021. Taking these values into consideration, the proponents have decided to assume a growth
rate in sales of only 10% for the 2nd and 3rd year. This is due to the fact that we are currently in
the midst of a global pandemic and that the business will only be starting its operations. A
growth of 15% will be assumed for the succeeding years. Revenues refer to the total revenue
which includes the revenue from the archery range and the revenue from the leased spaces.
The allocation of the increase will be based on the proportion of each source of revenue
to the total revenue or gross profit in Year 1. As provided in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial
Statements, 90% of the gross profit is attributable to the revenue from the archery range and 10%
Gross Profit
Since the entity is not engaged in retail or manufacturing, there will be no cost of goods
sold or cost of sales to be presented in the income statement. This would entail that the gross
profit of the business equates to the total revenue of the entity for that year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses of the entity pertains to all expenses related to the operations of the
business with specification as to selling and administrative costs. Since there is no available
industry data and annual reports for Archery Range businesses here in the Philippines, the
proponents have decided that each element of the operating expenses, except for salaries, rent,
utilities, and depreciation expenses, will grow together with the grow together with the growth in
sales.
Provision for income tax is assumed to be at a fixed rate of 30% of the income before tax,
in accordance with the provisions of the TRAIN Law and IAS 12: Income Taxes.
Net Income
Net income of the entity will vary throughout the projected years. They will be
increasing, however the increase will not be the same with the increase in revenue because not
all components of the operating expenses of the business grow spontaneously with sales.
All assets of the entity, with the exception of property, plant and equipment, increase
spontaneously alongside revenues. Hayes (2020) said that these assets grow in proportion to
that all spontaneous assets except for cash and supplies grow together with the growth in
revenue. The spontaneous assets of the company includes cash, prepaid expenses, supplies which
refers to both store and office supplies, and organizational and legal costs.
capacity of 70%. Fixed assets cannot be operated at full capacity since this would mean that the
Archery range as well as the coffee shop are open 24 hours, 7 days a week. In this study, there
would be no additional acquisition of property, plant and equipment since the existing PPE
would be able to support the sales growth. Furthermore, this assumption would entail that the
depreciable charge for the period would be the same throughout the projected five year statement
Spontaneous Liabilities
revenues. The company will only have accounts payable as its current liabilities since it is the
most common item in the liabilities section of a financial statement. It is therefore assumed that
the entity will not engage in any short-term borrowing for the next five years. An assumed value
The entity is in the form of a General Partnership, therefore each partner has his or her
own capital account. The capital account of the partners at the beginning of the business will be
equal to their contribution to start up the business. The capital accounts will be increased equally
when it comes to their respective shares in net income. It is assumed that there would be no
withdrawals at year 1, and so therefore, all partners will have the same ending balance. However,
The statement of cash flows is not usually created as part of the projected financials
statements due to the fact cash is very liquid and it is difficult to determine the movement of cash
for the next five years. However, the proponents decided to create a cash flow statement. Using
the plug-in approach (Velez-Pareja, 2009), the beginning balance for cash at Year 1 was stated at
₱227,150.

AND OWNER’S EQUITY
The archery range will be operating for eight (8) hours a day six (6) days a week, which
is approximately 192 hours per month, and 2,304 hours in a year. The proponents decided to
reduce the approximate annual hours to 2,250 hours since non-working holidays exist. There are
ten (10) lanes in the archery range, however, applying the principle of conservatism, the
proponents assume that the average occupied lanes annually is seven (7). Therefore the total
hours of operations will equal to 2,250 hours times 7 lanes or 15,750 hours. One-on-one
coaching is not included in the annual hour allocation since this is just an additional fee for when
where the customers will be using their own equipment. There will also be a total of ten (10)
lanes in the second floor, however the average lanes used in a year is set to be at 4 lanes. This is
because there is a small population of intermediate to pro archers here in the city. And not all of
these archers will be staying in the range for the entire week. The proponents decided to apply
the principle of conservatism as to not overstate the estimated and projected revenue. If there is
an approximate of 2,250 operating hours in a year, and there is an average of 4 lanes used for the
entire year, the hours used to compute the income for the 2nd floor range is 9,000 hours.
These available hours were allocated to the different packages offered by the Archery
Range. These packages were designed similarly to Arrowland by Gandiva an archery club
located in Ortigas Center, Quezon City, Philippines (Gandiva, n.d.). Each services offered is
The total revenue from the archery range of the entity for year 1 is ₱7,064,714. The
The business will not make a café per se but would rather leased three (3) spaces to food
stalls which would constitute to the café portion of the business. An equal monthly rent will be
given to all spaces. The monthly rental for the space occupied already includes their payment for
utilities such as water and electricity. The monthly rental is set at ₱8,000.00.
The total revenue from the leased spaces of the entity for year 1 is ₱288,000. The revenue
Based on the projected revenue of ₱7,064,714 from Note 1 and the calculated revenue for
leased spaces in Note 2, the total revenue or gross profit of the entity is ₱7,352,714. The
proponents calculated the percentage of revenue that is attributed to the archery range and it is at
96%. This would entail that 4% of the profit is from the leased spaces.
As previously stated in the assumptions portion of the paper, operating expenses of the
entity- except for salaries, rent, utilities, and depreciation, will grow together with the growth in
revenue which is 10% in Year 2 and 3, and 15% in Year 4 and 5. The total operating expenses
for year 1 is ₱3,199,963. It can be observed that the expense at year 5 amounting to ₱3,305,427
has a little difference from year 1 operating expense which is ₱105,464. This is because four
components of operating expense is the same for the next five years. A schedule for the
The entity will be paying its employees a 13th month pay which is equal to their monthly
salaries. As aforementioned in the previous chapter, each employee will receive an SSS,
PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG benefits. The rate for each benefits is based on the 2021 rates provided
by each agency. The deductions from the salary of the employee for each benefit were no longer
presented. Instead a total deduction was shown in the schedule above. The entity will be having a
total of ten (10) employees, composed of a manager, an on-call bookkeeper-who will reconcile
the accounts on a monthly basis, two cashiers, four range trainers, a utility personnel, and a
security guard. Based on the schedule, the total salaries expense of the entity, provided that no
salary increase and no additional employees will be hired for the next five (5) years, is
₱1,680,907.
As shown in the schedule above, the rent expense of the entity will be the same
throughout the projected five years of business operations. The lease agreement with the owner
of the building denotes a rent payment of ₱96,000 on a monthly basis. Therefore the total annual
rent is at ₱1,152,000.
For the utilities expense of the entity, schedule 3 below shows that for Year 1 to 5,
provided that the business will have a steady consumption for water and electricity as well as
Schedule 4 above presents the annual depreciation of the entity for the next five years.
The salvage value for all items that needs to be depreciated were assumed to be at 10% of their
original cost. Their useful life were also estimated conservatively. The total annual depreciation
of the business is ₱36,147. This is under the assumption that no additional property, plant, and
equipment will be added and that no impairment will occur in span of 5 years.
The value for the monthly expense of supplies were based on the assumed values
presented in Chapter 3 of this paper and in the computation for the initial cost of operating the
business. These monthly expenses were then multiplied to 12 months to get the annual expense
for the first year. However, this assumption is not entirely applicable to some items of supplies,
which is why some has assumed values as to when will the company need to replace the items.
The amount therefore of supplies expense for the each year varies.
Schedule 5 and 6 above, present the advertising expense and miscellaneous expense for
the next five years of the business operations, respectively. Similar with the other component of
operating expenses, the values of Year 2 to 5 has been increased in accordance to the projected
increase in revenues.

The cash account of the entity will be composed of a petty cash and the cash in bank. The
petty cash fund is set up in order to cover for petty expenses that the company will be incurring
Liquidity Ratios
Current Ratio
The business's current ratio for its projected financial statements is increasing. The
increase in the ratio is very high since the cash account of the entity is increasing in huge
amounts. The increase in the amount of cash is highly attributable to the less expenses incurred
by the entity and that the accounts payable account is significantly lesser. By the nature of the
entity’s business, as part of the services industry, lesser accounts payable is indeed significantly
lower as compare to those involved in merchandising or manufacturing business. The ratios are
above 1.0x, which indicates that the business’s current assets are more than enough to pay off its
current liabilities. The entity could possibly expand in year 3 if it would like to do so and if the
projected statements is true to the actual financial situation of the entity at that time.
Profitability Ratios
The operating profit margin of the business is expected to gradually increase over the
years. The gross profit margin is not computed because the revenue of the firm is equal to its
gross profit. The gradual increase is attributed mainly to the greater increase in revenue as
compared to the increase in operating expenses. Using the data in Year 2, the increase in revenue
Similarly, the net profit margin of the firm also projected to gradually increase in the next
five years. An increasing profit margin is an indication that the business is growing and is in a
good financial position. This could possible lead for the firm to decide to expand at Year 3 or at
the end of Year 5. An increasing profit margin means that the firm is making more money per
unit of revenue. The company could then increase the wages of the employee if it would like to
Return on Asset
The firm is projected to show a decreasing return on assets. This can be directly attributed
to the increase in cash. According to Chan (2017), this may also be due to the “heaviness” in an
entity’s asset holdings. A decline in ROA would mean that the business failed to produce
revenue growth and may signal trouble for the company. However, this is not entirely the truth
when it comes to the entity’s business because the increase in assets is mainly due to the fact that
the company has lesser expenses and has a huge volume of cash on hand. A huge amount of cash
is not advisable, and so as aforementioned, the entity may opt for an expansion such as opening a
new branch here in Bacolod City, within Negros Occidental, or in Iloilo City.
Similar to the business’s projected ROA it is projected that there would be a decline in its
basic earnings power. This is primarily because of the increase in the Total Assets of the firm.
According to Lumen (n.d.), a decrease in BEP reflects the ineffective generating of income. It
reflects that the company is poor in the management of its assets when trying to create value. The
poor management of asset refers to the management of cash. Because it is just a projected
statement it would be difficult to project how the entity will manage its cash in the near future.
Nevertheless, this would serve as a guide that when operating the business, the partners should
Breakeven point analysis according to Woodruff (2020), is a method that determines the
number of units needed to be sold in order to cover all the variable and fixed costs. It is helpful
in determining the minimum units to sell and the amount of sales needed to pay all the expenses
In computing the breakeven point of the entity or the business it is important to be able to
determine the variable and fixed costs of the business. However, there is an increased
complication, due to the fact that our business proposal is a service business and not a
manufacturing business (Calleja, 2018). This means that the ‘unit’ should be properly identified.
In computing the breakeven point, the proponents identifies the ‘unit’ as the number of hours that
the business is operating. This is in accordance to the discussion of Calleja (2018) regarding the
calculation of the breakeven point for a service business. Therefore, the business has a total of
15,750 units.
Moving to the variable and fixed cost, the variable costs of the business includes the
supplies expense, advertising expense, and miscellaneous expense. While variables costs is
compose of salaries expense, utilities expense, rent expense and depreciation expense. The
breakeven point is computed by dividing the total fixed cost with the difference between the
be decreasing for the next five years, this is because the total fixed costs, as the name suggests is
constant in this period, while the sales per unit of the business is increasing. The increase in sales
per unit is due to the increase in the projected revenue of the company. Based on the results, the
variable cost per unit of the entity is increasing from ₱13.01 to ₱19.71. Which equates to an
increase of ₱6.7. On the other hand, the sales price per unit of the business in Year 5 at ₱593.43
is a huge increase from sales price per unit in Year 1 which is at ₱466.84. The difference
between the values is ₱126.59. The huge amount of sales price per unit is attributable to the
Taking the units into account, it is highly remarkable that at Year 2, the minimum
number of unit in order to reach a breakeven is approximately 1/3 the amount of units that the
company is projected to operate. And at Year 5, the minimum breakeven units is even lesser than
the breakeven units of year 2. At this point, it can be concluded that the entity will be in a good
financial position for the next five years and will be earning a huge amount of profit.
Investment Analysis
Return on Investment
The return on investment financial ratio is a measure of the benefits that the investor or
partners receives in relation to the amount of investment that they have given to operate the
business. The higher the ratio implies that there is a greater benefit earned for every peso of
investment. However, as observed in the table above, the ROI of the business is decreasing for
the next five years. In connection with the discussion on the result for ROA below and ROE
previously, the declining ROI is highly attributable to the stagnant cash that the business will be
creating if cash for the next five years will not be utilized properly.
Since the partners has no huge acquisition for the next five years such as an acquisition of
additional property, plant, and equipment, and that expenses is only gradually increasing, the
cash account of the entity continues to grow. Added also that the partners’ only incur minimal
withdrawals. As constantly discussed, at Year 2 or Year 3, the entity should determine how to
Return on Equity
The entity is projected to have a declining return on equity. Similar to the ROA, this is
attributable to the greater increase in the firm’s assets. According to Henricks (2020), a declining
ROE would mean that the company is less efficient at turning partners’ investment into profits
and at increasing the partners’ value. This warrants an evaluation of management decisions
towards generating of profits. As further discussed earlier, this should signal the management
that in the future, when the business is already operating, it should be very careful in managing
The net present value is the difference between the present value (PV) of cash inflows
and the present value (PV) of cash outflows for a specific period of time, in this case, five years.
It is usually used to analyse the profitability of a projected investment or project (Fernando &
Mansa, 2021). In this case, it will be used to determine the profitability of the proposed business
idea. Net present value accounts for time value of money which can be used to compare to other
investments. A discount rate needs to be identified, in this case, the proponents assumed that the
The cash flows for each year is determined from the net change in cash flows computed
and presented in the statement of cash flows. The initial investment is the total invested amount
of ₱600,000 which is from the equal investment of the partner amounting to ₱120,000. Based on
the table above, the net present value of the future cash flows of the business at as discount rate
of 10% is ₱11,215,947.43. The positive result for NPV indicates that the earnings or revenue in
this project-in present peso value- exceeds the anticipated costs, also in present per value
(Fernando & Mansa, 2021). This only means that the business in its entirety is profitable and will
be a good form of investment for those who would like to open a similar business.
