1.1Identify the sources of finance available to a business.

Funding is the driving force behind every profitable projects. Businesses need capital to fund

these endeavors, which generate income. However, not all companies have instant access to

the money. The abundance of funding options makes it easier for employers to determine thetype of financing that best suits their needs.

Bank Loan

Banks and credit unions provide loans to companies large and small. When companies get a

loan from a Bank, they have access to a specific amount of money, but are bound by the terms

of payment of bank interest rates. Interest is the fee for borrowing money for the Bank, which

builds up based on the amount of the loan is used and how long the business repay the money.

HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT

If the employer also owns a home, that home equity line of credit. Home equity lines of credit

are financial institutions loans give homeowners based on the amount of equity they have in

their home, and the value of their home and the mortgage current. Once applicants are

approved for home equity lines of credit, they have immediate access to funds. Beware of the

volatility of interest rates, as published August 2009 by the Federal Reserve that interest rates

on home equity lines of credit are usually variable. Sets a variable interest rate based on the

index value. As such, this type of loan requires employers to monitor closely the rate of interest.

FIND AN INVESTOR

Groups of investors or private investors look for companies that need financial assistance. The

main types of venture capitalists and angel investors. Capitalists invest money widely, with an

average investment of $ 500,000 to $ 10 million, according to an article in the magazine, "top

100 venture capital firms". Angel investors provide smaller amounts which remain significant.

Corporate investors supply capital for fractional ownership in the company. Instead of charging

interest on the amount of money loaned to businesses, investors want a share of the profits.

YOUR OWN MONEY

If employers have a savings or retirement accounts, they can benefit from another source of

funding, known as the "bootstrapping", when the employer uses personal resources to finance

business endeavours. Personal resources are the main source of financing for new

8/10/2019 BTEC Unit 2

entrepreneurs most, she says, "small business administration". This also includes the use of

personal credit cards. However, credit cards have high interest rates, so it is better to use credit

cards for short-term investments that will pay off quickly.

1.2 Assess the implication of the different sources.

1.3 Evaluate appropriate sources of finance for a business project.

A business faces three most important issues when selecting an apposite source of finance for

a new project:

1. Can the investment be raised from internal resources or will new finance have to be raise

outside the business?

2. If finance needs to be raised on the outside, should it be debt or fairness?

3. If external debt or evenhandedness is to be used, where should it be raised from and in which

form?

Can the obligatory finance be provided from interior sources?

In answering this question the company needs to judge several issues:

Is the amount of cash held? The company needs to consider how much in current cash and

short-term investments, and how much of that will be needed to support existing operations. In

the case of coins, this is the most obvious source of funding for the new project. If you cannot

provide the required cash in this way then the company should consider in future cash flows.

You can set up a cash balance, but probably very detailed at this stage. If the expected cash

flows of the company insufficient to finance the new project then it can consider tightening

controls on working capital improved cash position. Debtors strike to settle early, running down

inventory levels and extending the repayment period for debtors can raise cash resources. Note

however, there are dangers in such tactics. For example, customer/vendor lost goodwill and

production stoppages because of stock-outs etc. If you cannot provide the required funding the

immigration.

The current capital is gearing up for business. Although religion is attractive because of its

cheap, a blemish that attention must be paid. If too much is borrowed, then the company may

not be able to meet interest payments and principal, may follow. The level of borrowing of the

company usually measured by gearing (ratio of debt to equity) and companies must ensure this

does not become too high. Comparisons with other companies in the industry or with the

company's recent history is useful here.

Security available. Many lenders will require that assets be pledged as collateral against loans.

Provide security for borrowing from good quality assets such as land and buildings usually no

intangible assets such as capitalization of research and development expenses. In the absence

8/10/2019 BTEC Unit 2

11/44

11

of good assets, security has increased borrowing is not an option. Business risks. Business risk

indicates volatility in operating profit. You should avoid companies with operating profits are

highly volatile high levels of borrowing, they may find themselves in the position of operating

profit falls and that it could not meet the interest Bill. High-risk projects funded usually stock, as

there is no legal obligation to return equal pay.

Operating leverage. The Guide refers to the company's operating costs that are fixed rather

than variable. High proportion of fixed costs of operating gears. Companies with high operating

gears tend to have operating profits are volatile. This is because fixed costs remain the same,

regardless of sales volume. Thus, if the increase in sales, operating profit increases by the

largest. But if sales volume, operating profit fell by a greater proportion. Generally, it's a very

dangerous policy combination of highly leveraged finance with high operational gearing. High

operating leverage is common in many service industries, where many are fixed operating

costs.

Monitoring the vote. Issue of shares to new investors could change the voting control of the

business. If the founding owners holding more than 50% of the capital may be interested in

selling new shares to investors outside the control of the vote in the General Assembly might be

lost. The current state of the equity markets. The Hang Seng manikombanis prices will be

reluctant to sell new shares. They feel risividoil prices are very low. This would reduce the

wealth of the owners. Note thisdos does not apply to rights issues that sold shares to existing

owners. New issues of shares on stock markets in the United Kingdom has binrari over the last

few years due to the bear market. At the time of weritingthiri is some evidence that the bear

market is about to end. After considering the points mentioned above, the company will be able

to decide between using the DIN or stock. Another important resolution should use any type of

financing, and so should be considered.

Equity Finance

A detailed consideration of the different sources of evenhandedness venture is beyond the

scope of this piece and students are not obligatory to consult their textbooks or Manuals for

more comprehensive coverage. However, here are a few general points on the subject:

For companies who have already contributed in the question of rights, mandatory under

company law matters. This means that any new shares to existing shareholders commensurate

with existing stockpiles. This is to protect the existing shareholders of the company selling

8/10/2019 BTEC Unit 2

12/44

12

shares to new investors at a low price, diluting the wealth of existing shareholders. This

condition can be overcome if existing shareholders prepared to vote on the ' waiver of pre-

emption rights.

The current situation of the company. Companies listed on the London Stock Exchange

securities "or" alternative investment market (aim), a new stock can be raised by selling new

shares in these markets through issues, offers for sale or development. Other companies who

lack the stock more difficult raising stock, you may need to resort to venture capitalists if they

require equity financing for long-term investments. Fixed borrowing rate float v many lenders

offer borrower choosing between a fixed interest rate and one floating (no changes) with the

General level of interest rates. Fixed rate borrowing may attract certainty (you know what is the

interest rate that you are going to pay) but on average it is more expensive. This is because

lenders see themselves as taking more risk on fixed rate lending as they may lose in the case of

an increase in interest rates. Generally, floating (variable) rate of borrowing cheaper.

Conclusion

It is not possible to recommend ideal source of funding for any project. What is important is that

students appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods of funding, and

can provide advice for companies.

2.1 Analyse the costs of different sources of finance

Costs of different sources of finance

Organisations need possessions for effective operation

Such possessions include machines, personnel, and money

Money as a possessions need to be managed with awareness

The need to manage economics arises because it has expenditure

Analysing cost is important for good organization and success

Share capital/owners fundCash dividend:- speculation cost , paid out to shareholders

share paid out depends on management, and within officially permitted constraints

For investors payment is an important source of returns

Shareholders be expecting the dividends to increase in the fullness of time and to be

consistent from year to year

Owners fund

Dividends: example b Mr owns 100 shares in ICI, the company will pay a lot pence per share

twice a year. If pushed ICI up 20 p per share in March and September, the cost of a business

return Mr 100 x 0.20 2 = 40 return sector (b):-instead of paying cash dividends, the

company can pay them in the form of new shares. This is called the dividend yield stripe: (for

example, instead of paying the 20 profit ICI had made Mr alternative of 2 new shares in ICI

plus 4 pounds in cash (the advantage that company reserves much more cash for use in

business

3.1 analyse budgets and make appropriate decisions.

Budgets and budgetary control

budgets are a economic and/or quantitative

statement, recitation to a defined time period,

stating the plan with systems of joystick over

it so as to accomplish the set objectives or plan

variances are basically deviation from set plan

[or budget] which may be either sympathetic

denoted by [F] or undesirable denoted by an [A]

Merits and Demerits

merits: integrates complete business & motivate

facilitates announcement & co-ordination

allows for development & control, could lead to

better presentation [MBO] & a performance

measure & reward apparatus of some sort

demerits: inflexible, awkward, outdated,

a rule than a tool, non value-adding etc.

Types Of Budgets

8/10/2019 BTEC Unit 2

27/44

27

fixed budgets are in the main inflexible & rigid,

they are as a rule set within a relevant range

theyre non-adaptive, developing or responsive

use for monitoring & control within huge firms

flexible budgets on the differing, quick to respond,

i.e. responds to asking price behaviours, adaptive,

use in strategic diplomacy & tactical exercises

Fixed budget

Constructing a fixed financial statement

Adopt the subsequent steps for fixed budget

time-honoured desired level of activity (1 level only)

Establish costs of machinery [matl, labour]

establish cost behaviours [by components]

Determine the system to adopt [vertical etc]

Ensure the arrangement identify the followings;

The direct price tag, gross profit, net income etc

Example fixed budget

establish the cost per learner per month using the data below:

No of learners at the college 1000 learners

No of learners per classroom 40 learners

Cost of book bag each learner is issued with 200 each

Constructing a flexible budget adopt the following steps for elastic budgets

conclude the level of movement to budget for

create the cost per constituent to be used

E.g. material, labour and optical projection

conclude the cost behaviours [ by component]

What to note: flexible budget

stuff costs increases by 200 per student

labour expenditure increases by the no. of learners

caused by? no. of classes & tutors obligatory

integrate & motivates, overhead is invariable

total costs increases with bustle [AC drops]

why? total FC is unchanged in relevant range

there are no incomplete tutors [so, round up!]

Summary

budgets may be describe as revolutionary plans

fixed budgets are rigid [i.e. non-responsive]

flexible budgets act in response to the activity levels

cost per unit declines as the commotion level rises

fixed budgets are used in unwavering environments

it is also number one & used by the government

use flexible budgets in shifting conditions

Practice Question

Each product consumes materials worth 50.00

Each labour hour is paid at this rate 10 per hour

Each worker works standard hour per wk of 32 hours

Types of budget

Cash vs Zero-based

cash budgets reproduce cash movements only

forecasts future cash location or requirements

they do not match the earnings forecasts & may

start with cash famine [overdraft] or surplus

zero-based budget start from a zero base

each period & requires mgs. to justify wishes

for reserve each year [promotes efficiency]

Features of effective budgeting

1. truthful forecasting

2. Based on organisational aim

3. in sequence is timely and accurate

4. fashioned with multilevel input

5. standard reviews are built-in

Problems with budgeting

The progression is too long

There is a grouping of game playing

Business decisions revolutionize but the budget does not

People in charge of budget are held responsible in areas where they have no

responsibility

means? cost appreciable to product or examination

meaning? its fluctuate with volume of output

express costs consists of direct material costs

nonstop labour & direct expenses [e.g. delivery]

most important costs consists of the total direct costs

i.e. [material + labour + any through expenses]

so, prime cost is the same as shortest cost? yes!

Indirect Costs & Total Costs

i.e. costs not particular to product or service

circumlocutory costs consists of indirect material costs

[e.g. cleaning materials], indirect employment cost

[e.g. salary, bonus pay] & circumlocutory expenses

[e.g. rent, indemnity, repairs, publicity etc.]

the total outlay = [total direct & indirect costs]

i.e. [direct expenses + indirect costs] = total costs

Fixed Costs & Variable Costs

fixed price tag do not change with movement levels

i.e. cost remains predetermined within a relevant range

but in the long-run, all costs become up-and-down uneven costs adapt to the levels of activity

states that costs increases per unit as commotion

levels jump down [i.e. fixed costs over more volume]

as volume rises, the total common cost drops

Semi Variable Costs

this is a assortment of both fixed & variable costs

example: cellular phone cost [i.e. fixed land line]

- a portion of the asking price is fixed [i.e. line rental]

- the other portion is changeable [the no. of calls]

what to do with mixed costs when scheduling:

- separate the total cost into unchanging & variable

- use high & low process or regression chemical analysis

Cost-plus pricing-company adds a certain entitlement on the cost of producing its

product to set the business price

Skimming method- makes a high profit at the onset to cover investigate cost offering

reduced numbers. Used by electronic commodities and other tech product e.g. Apple i-

pads and i-phones

Penetration pricing: offering low prices in order to gain so many clients at the

commencement. The aim is on wider acceptance and increase souk share and

competiveness. This is a very good entry approach where competition is high and

intense

Target pricing:used for intended or unambiguous purpose e.g. to enable a single-

minded rate of homecoming on investment for a scrupulous period of time- used by

yield a profit of 5 each to produce 60,000 units per year will be Payback period 2 years

Payback could occur during Can generally take into account the reduced cash flows from

investment to days

Why do companies invest?

Importance of remembering

investment as the purchase of

productive capacity NOT buying

stocks and shares or investing in a

bank!

Buy equipment/machinery or build

new plant to:

Increase capacity (amount that can

be produced) which means:

Demand can be met and this generates sales revenue

Increased efficiency and productivity

Investment therefore assumes that the investment will

yield future income streams

Investment appraisal is all about assessing these

income streams against the cost of the investment

Not a precise science!

Pay back method

The length of time taken to repay the initial

capital cost

Requires information on the returns the investment

generates

e.g. A machine costs 600,000

It produces items that generate a profit of 5 each on a

production run of 60,000 units per year

Payback period will be 2 years

8/10/2019 BTEC Unit 2

37/44

37

Payback could occur during a year

Can take account of this by reducing

the cash inflows from the investment

to days, weeks or years

Days/Weeks/Months x Initial Investment

Payback = ----------------------------------------

Total Cash Received

e.g.

Cost of machine = 600,000

Annual income streams from investment

= 255,000 per year

Payback = 36 x 600,000/765,000

= 28.23 months

(2 yrs, 6 months)

INCOME STREAMS

YEAR 1 255, 000

YEAR 2 255, 000

YEAR 3 255, 000

Accounting rate of return [ARR]

A comparison of the profit generated

by the investment with the cost of the investment Average annual return or annual profit

ARR =

--------------------------------------------

Initial cost of investment

An investment e.g. is expected to result in cash outflows of 10,000 a year for the next five

years the initial cost of investment profit Total 20,000 and 30,000 annual profit: = 30000

pounds/5 = 6000 ARR = 6000/20000 100 = 30% A return worthwhile? Net present value

NPV Takes into account the fact that money values change with time How much will you

need to invest today earn x amount of time? Value of money affected by interest rates NPV

helps to take these factors into account returns shows you what is your investment would earn

in alternative investment e.g-project 150,000 costs After 5 years cash = 100,000 (10%)

If you had invested 1 million to the Bank offers interest of 12% will be the largest returns might

be better off to reconsider your investment! The principle: How much you will have to invest

now earn 100 in one year if the interest rate is 5%?

Net present value

Future Value

PV = -----------------(1 + i)n

Where i = interest rate

n = number of years

ThePV of 1 @ 10% in 1 years time is

0.9090

If you invested 0.9090p today and the

interest rate was 10% you would have 1

in a years time

Process referred to as:Discounting Cash Flow

Cash flow x discount factor = present

value

e.g. PV of 500 in 10 years time at a rate

of interest of 4.25% = 500 x .6595373 =

329.77

329.77 is what you would have to invest

today at a rate of interest of 4.25% to earn

500 in 10 years time

PVs can be found through valuation tables (e.g. Parrys Valuation Tables)

Internal rate of return IRR

Allows the risks associated with the investment project to be assessed is the IRR the interest

rate (discount rate) that makes the net present value = zero value helps us measure Allows

the investment firm to assess whether the investment in the device, and so will yield the best

return based on internal criteria for comparison Allows return of projects with different initial

expensesSet allows cash flows to different discount rates Software or simple charts to find

the internal rate of return

Extent of future interest rate movements that could be taken into account, he predicted

factoring in inflation raised the Necessity of making Investment long-term decisions requires

special attention because of the following reasons:-Effect They finance the steady growth in

the long term They affect risk It firm involves the commitment of considerable amount of

investment decisions They are irreversible, and in large loss They are among the toughest

decision to make benefits Future need detailed evaluation because they are difficult to predict.

4.1 discuss the main financial statement.

The financial statements include the four key small business income statement, balance sheet,

cash flow statement, statement of owner's equity. Private businesses and small businesses do

not need to prepare financial statements. However, if they want to go or need financing, a set of

financial statements will come in handy. Data that help small business owners collect their

financial records, and compare current performance against prior periods and the industry

average. The income statement is the basic components of the income statement revenue,

expenses, and profits. Usually appears in the top line revenues and bottom line shows the net

profit or loss. Companies incur losses if expenditures exceed revenues. The size and

complexity of the company determines the number of items in the income statement, but the

main categories that include sales and operating costs and non-operating expenses. Gross

profit equals Sales minus cost of goods.

Balance Sheet

The components of the balance sheet of assets and liabilities and owner's equity. Asset is

displayed on the left side while the other two appear on the right side. The basic accounting

equation States that assets must equal total liabilities and owner's equity. Assets include current

assets such as cash, inventory, fixed assets, such as plants and other properties. Include

liabilities short-term liabilities, including liabilities accounts payable, long-term, such as bonds. A

small business may not have any long-term debt. Equity section of the balance sheet holders

may contain only the ending balance for the period because it shows the ending balance in the

account statement of owner's equity.

4.2

There are three types of financial statements: income statement, balance sheet and cash flow

statement. Each of these financial statements show a different aspect of the business. However,

correctly understand the financial health of the business, all the three financial statements

should be studied together. Each financial statement can show potential problems or

weaknesses that are evident in other data. There are standard forms that are used for each of

the three financial statements.

BASIC INCOME STATEMENT

The basic form of the statement of income on income first, followed by the expenses. Expenses

are subtracted from revenue to calculate the net income of the business. This is a statement of

income used by most service providers and others that did not cost of goods sold for the

services they use to create simplified profit more. If there is a cost of goods sold, income

statement, statement of participation.

INCOME STATEMENT FOR RETAIL OR MANUFACTURING

Income statement-shop retail or manufacturing process is very different from the statement of

service. In the income statement, the first line of gross income or revenue, followed by

subtracting the cost of goods sold or manufactured. This provides the amount of gross income.

The second section of the income statement lists all expenditures associated with SG & amp; A,

parts sales and General and administrative business. This is subtracted from the gross income

reveal operating income. The last section presents expenditure and interest expense and taxes

to net income from other businesses.

BALANCE SHEET

The balance sheet shows the assets, liabilities and shareholders ' equity & # 039;. Total assets

must equal total total liabilities and shareholders equity & # 039;. Section I of the balance sheet

lists all the assets. This includes cash, investments, real estate and other commercial

equipment and stores. The following section lists the liabilities, or what the company owes to

others. This includes any loans or accounts payable. The last part of the shareholders & # 039;

equity is the difference between total assets and total liabilities.
