Forecast Financials

Forecasted Financials
Forecasted Financials would help the company to estimate its
performance over the first few years. The forecast income
statement will make it easy to tell the forecasted income in the
first few years. On the other hand, the projected statement of
financial position gives a reflection of the entire future
financial performance and the general nature of the business as
a whole (Caux, 2005).
This is an illustration of how Kudler venture would perform. It
gives an estimation of revenues and expenses and postulate of
profit and loss. Going by the industry standards it is estimated
that the business in the first year of operation will make the
quoted volume of sales. This is based on the industry standards
but an allowance for variance of 20% to the lower is provided
for ( Association for Financial Professionals, 2006). The
expenses likely to be incurred during the operation in the first
year include wages and salaries, insurance, real estate (RE)
taxes, maintenance, advertising, research and development,
rents, interest on bank notes and capital venture loan. All these
5. details are summarized in the table below.

Business Conceptual Venture
One conceptual small business venture which I would be willing
to plan and operate for this particular assignment is a fast food
restaurant. In order to start off, I would require a restaurant,
heating system, ventilator, boiling equipment, some initial fund
capital, some customers among other things. For the restaurant
we will need the following: a scullery sink, hand washing sink,
refrigerator, convection oven, a preparation table. We will in
addition to all these need an ice machine.
I will be willing to take not less than five employees. I would
require facilities for this restaurant such as private dining, and
washrooms. Additionally I will require service counter and the
kitchen. The kitchen I intend to have is an open one. The wash
rooms will always be kept as tidy as possible and at full service
20. of water facilities. The restaurant will also be with adequate
lighting systems, decorations, furniture and so on. For
customers who will need privacy of handling, there will be
private dining halls for them. The customers will order for food
through the counter upon paying cash. The bill will be
processed and the customer will wait to be served with food.
The target customer demographics as far as the operations of
this restaurant will be concerned will be to attract the children
which imply that the advertisements will be based on children
attraction. Based on this the advertisements will be made on TV
and will bear colorful cartoons, niceties and other delicacies.
Additionally the advertisements will bear pizzas and burgers.
The advertisements will be set such that everyday there will
appear a different cartoon. We will maintain a secret recipe and
the price of the delicacies and other meals of the restaurant will
be born in the advertisements.
Given the strict Federal regulations as far as sales of alcoholic
beverages are concerned, the restaurant will have two divisions.
The first division will serve strictly customers who are aged
below eighteen and the other side will host those of the age of
the majority. Shortly after starting the operations the restaurant
will venture into casino business and other gambling errands
such as snooker games and pool tables. Once in a while we will
be engaging our clients in competitions such as soda drinking
competitions, beer drinking competition and we will seek their
participation in other games.
A current company which I consider appropriate to this
restaurant venture is Applebee’s Restaurant. Applebee’s
International Inc. is based in America and it develops,
franchises, and oversees the activities of Applebee’s Bar and
Grill chains. It had 2019 restaurants as of 2011 December
across the United States and 15 others in outside the states. It
focuses on casual dining and offers basically American dishes.
Additionally it offers chicken, pasta, and shrimp among other
delicacies. All of the restaurants under Applebee’s have a bar
21. area and they sell alcoholic beverages.
Applebee’s chain started operation in November 1980 after it
was founded by Bill and Palmer. The two opened the first
restaurant.
The company was started with a small amount of money and
they had targeted those customers below the age of majority.
They did several advertisements to attract them. They used to
give colorful cartoons and had their price rates published on the
products. They did not find sufficient viability in all these
attempts. In one case, they served noodle which is Chinese dish
but they had saw this into the American restaurant. It did not
work well for them. This was a great setback for them. With
time they understood the tastes and preferences off their
customers and today Applebee’s is a proud commander of the
2019 chains across the states.
