2.0. Report

2.1. Different Finance SourcesEvery Business requires capital to fund their activities/ operations, therefore there are various options of funding the company. Business owners select the best appropriate finance options, and such options can be classified as follows,

Source of Finance1. Internal Sources Personal savings Sale of assets Retained profit Working capital

costSourcesDescriptionAdvantagesDisadvantages

Personal savings

The funds that a business organization, keeps in an account in a bank or in a safe from their own investment which is internal source of finance. No interest expenses will be added. Sharing return will not applicable Funds can be used when ever needed, which will save time No Creditors to pay back Depositing into a bank will grant you interest rates.

Using personal saving will consume time and will not be sufficient when engage in larger business projects. Having saving in bank will may have only the interest rate however, if the organization invest in a project or elsewhere, the will get opportunity get more investment return.

Sale of assets

Internal source of finance, by sale of assets. Whenever a business sells of its assets and the cash generated is used internally for financing the capital needs One of the fasters way to finance the organization. The no borrowing cost or debts. Funds can be used when ever needed, which will save time Sharing return will not applicable No interest expenses will be added.

Asset is no longer to be used in the company Some business doesnt have surplus asset to be sold. It can be useful another purpose of the organization.Example: if the company sale a car it also can be used as rent car which will make a small profit for long period of time.

Retained profit

A internal source of finance. The phenomenon is also known as Ploughing Back of Profits. Profit left after paying disbursement to the shareholders or drawings by the capital owners. There is no fixed requirement of interest or installment payments. Since this is an internal source of finance there is no cost attached. Since these are long term of finance no dividend payments are required. The owners control is not diluted and decisions are not vetted by lenders Not available for a new business. If the owner tries take all the retained profit there will be no buffer cash left in the organization to sudden opportunity arises. Having retained profit in the organization would be disadvantage where the funds can be used elsewhere which can be more profitable projects.

Working capital

Working capital is the amount of money available for the day to day running of the business.Working capital= current assets current liabilities.No interest expenses will be added.Sharing return will not applicableFunds can be used when ever needed, which will save timeNo Creditors to pay back Funds invested for working capital can be utilized for the other finance or capital requirements. Lack of sufficient working capital No cash flow

Preference Shares

This an external source of finance. Preference shares have a fixed percentage dividend before any dividend is paid to the ordinary shareholders. Doesnt have to be repaid No interest is payableDividends do not have to be paid in a year in which profits are poor Since they do not carry voting rights, preference shares avoid diluting the control of existing shareholders while an issue of equity shares would not. preference shares does not restrict the company's borrowing power The non-payment of dividend does not give the preference shareholders the right to appoint a receiver

Profits will be paid out as dividends to more shareholders Ownership of the company could change hands. Preference shares are considered a very costly source of finance which is it seems that when they are compared with debt as a source of finance. Skipping Dividend Disregard Market Image

Debentures

A long-term security yielding a fixed rate of interest, issued by a company and secured against assets Benefit of Tax- Debt Financing or Issuing of Debenture results in interest expense for the borrower which is a tax deductible expense. No Dilution of Control: Issuing of debentures or accepting bank loan does not dilute the control of the existing shareholders or the owners of the company No Dilution in Share of Profits- Opting for debentures over the equity as a source of finance keeps intact the profit-sharing percentage of existing shareholders. Bad for Low Inflationary Conditions Debenture financing enhance the enhance the financial risk There is a limit to which funds can be raised through debentures.

Bank loans

External source borrowing from the bank. Set installments over a period of time which is good for budgeting Multiple loan option in the market therefore can choose the most appropriate loan for the business. If the organization has good relationship with the past, bank will not reluctant to lend money. Can be expensive due to interest payments Bank may require security on the loan Lengthy application process to verify before lending money. Bank doesnt grant the total amount of loan that they request,

LeasingWhen purchasing assets such as new machines or vehicles A legal document outlining the terms under which one party agrees to rent property from another party.

The advantages are that the business does not need to find a large initial lump sum to buy the equipment and can thus pay for the asset from its own revenue. Cost is spread over a number of years which will be good budgeting for the organization. Better security on your finance since the product is owns by leasing company.

The lessee does not get the ownership of the asset. Long term expenses to the company Maintenance for the lease product will be responsible for the company.

S & S PLC is the one of the fastest growing supermarket chains in the western province and southern provinces in Sri Lanka would be great advantage to the company to finance through browning funds through a bank or bank loan. The company can estimate the required money and borrow the funds from financial institutes since these days the interest rates are low compared to last year that would be great advantage to the company and further company does not have to find a large initial lump sum they can pay it as installments with the agreed period of time. S & S PLC is well-known supermarket chain in western province and southern provinces therefore the will be not reluctant to lend money to the company and it would be the fasters ways to finance the company. After the expansion new business in Central and North western provinces with the business profit the loan payments would be not much bare to the company. When purchasing assets such as new machines or vehicles I would like to suggest the leasing source that benefit the company will not need a large initial lump sum to buy the equipments and the cost wil spread over period of time and better security on your finance since the product is owns by leasing company therefore when starting new project in Central and North western provinces machines or vehicles can be leased since the benefit is high compared to other finance sources. Therefore I would like suggest bank loan for the initial finance of the project and leasing for the equipments would be appropriate methods of finance for S & S PLC which is a fastest growing supermarket chains.

Task 02

2.1 Financial planning is the backbone of the company

Financial planning one of the most important helps the company determine your short and long-term financial goals and the existent of the company.

Financial planning done in proper is not enough it should be wisely made decision if the company gets opportunities that that arise such as buying inventory from suppliers at provisionally reduced prices.Also business must area that financial planning must be involved is in understanding the income and profit or loss in financial reports. This is very significant as it helps to identified that where most operational expenses are and planning to reduce in the future activities in the organization. The organization must also track all the liabilities and of a business and planning on how a business will utilize its resources to settle outstanding debts before they result in operational problems.It is also paramount that you stick to your budget to avoid making losses that can cause substantial damage to the business and also company can increase the cash flow by tangible assets that are not being use in the organization which could be sell them off to improve the cash flow. Therefore its impossible for an organization to function and be financially stable without financial planning. It provides a guide for the overall operation of the business therefore financial planning is the backbone of the company.

Financial planning in any business is very important. A good business plan provides a guide for the overall operation of the business and the way finances will be handled within a business. The importance of financial planning for your business can be seen in how cash flows in and out of the business. It is very hard for a business to be financially stable if they have not laid out a financial plan. This is because sound financial planning is the backbone for a successful business. Without a financial plan a company is bound to lose its financial grip and the results can be disastrous.The importance of financial planning for your business is best seen when a company is faced with a situation concerning outstanding debts and rising cost. So to be able to be prepared for the situation in advance, the company should have prepared a proper financial plan before hand. The success of a business is greatly determined by the financial plans they have laid out and how well it is followed.Financial planning is the best way to monitor assets of a business. Since financial reports have records of spent, earned and remaining assets, the importance of financial planning for your business comes into play in keeping an updated record of the business resources. Financial planning evaluates the current assets, intangible assets and fixed assets of a business. Therefore the plan helps in deciding on the best way to spend or gain resources.Most businesses have monthly or periodical revenue variations. That means that there are times when cash is in plenty and when there are cash shortages. In making a sound financial plan, the business owner takes these periods into account and keeps a tight restriction on expenditures especially during the periods when there is a decrease in cash flow. The importance of financial planning for your business is felt when it cushions you from being unable to make payrolls. A proper financial plan also allows a business owner to take advantage of opportunities that arise such as buying inventory from suppliers at provisionally reduced prices.Another area where the importance of financial planning for your business is exhibited is in income and profit or loss. Every financial planning demands a review of financial reports to encourage an understanding of income and profits of loss. This is very significant as it helps the business make out its sales or revenue, net income and operational expenses. Being able to identify these factors helps the business to make a well informed decision on which ventures to improve on and which were profitable.Just as financial reports show the records of assets of the business, they also show the various liabilities of a business. Proper financial planning requires a good analysis of business current liabilities, owner's equity and long term debts. This is very useful in keeping the business in track of liabilities due soon. It

Also assist in planning on how a business will utilize its resources to settle outstanding debts before they result in operational problems.Before making financial plans it is important to be decided on what type of business you want to embark on. This will help in making basic and comprehensive plans for finances. It is also paramount that you stick to your budget to avoid making losses that can cause substantial damage to the business. Being realistic by having a clear perspective of the business you run is very useful. You could not be having any tangible assets but if you do like machines that are not being used, you could sell them off to improve your cash flow.

TotalRs. 141,000Rs. 140,000

Payback period for Machine A (PBP)

Payback period = INITIAL INVESTMENT(cash Outlay)/ANNUAL CASH flow

Rs. 38,000+Rs. 38,000+Rs. 35,000 = Rs. 111,000 = for 03 years

Initial investment with 03 year period totalRs. 120,000.00 - Rs. 111,000.00=Rs. 9,000.00

payback period,=9,000/30,000*12=3.6 months4months

Therefore the payback period would be,

PBP = 3years and 04 months

Payback period for Machine B (PBP)

Payback period = INITIAL INVESTMENT(cash Outlay)/ANNUAL CASH flow

Rs. 35,000+ Rs. 35,000 = Rs. 70,000 = for 2years

Initial investment different with 02 year period totalRs 96,000- Rs. 70,000.00 = Rs. 16,000.00

Payback period=16,000/35,000*12=5.4 months

Therefore the payback period would be,

PBP = 02years and 05 months

Accounting rate return (ARR) Machine A

ARR = Average Profit After Deprecation And Tax *100/ Initial Investment

Average profit after deprecation and tax = Rs. 141,000 Rs. 120,000 = Rs. 21,000/4 = Rs 5,250.00

ARR= Rs. 5,250 *100/120,000
