FINANCIAL STATEMENT

8. Q1(29000) + Q2(28700) + Q3(29100) + Q4(29000) = 115800 Rs.
CHART ANALYSIS
SALES - EXPENSES = PROFIT
102000 - 115800 = (-) 13800 (LOSS)
117000 - 116000 = (+) 1,000
142000 - 119000 = (+) 23,000
This is the gestation period between 2014 to 2015 (i.e
when the loss has turned to a profit though nominal in its
value)
So here transition from (Rs. -13800) to (Rs. +
1000) is the “break even point.”

9. Profit Percent = [{(FINAL – INITIAL)/ (INITIAL) } * 100 ]
2014
((112000-115800)/115800(L))* 100 = 11.91% (LOSS)
2015
((117000-116000)/116000)*100) = 0.86% (almost negligible)
2016
((142000-119000)/119000)*100) = 19.32% (significant value)
CALCULATION

10. PROFIT MARGIN RATIO
2014
115800/102000 = 1.135
2015
117000/116000 = 1.008
2016
142000/119000 = 1.193

12. There may be certain risk like the vending machine is
damaged or in case a person/ some persons just want to
hamper the machine and thus want to squeeze the
products by unscrupulous means. Therefore we must
have to have a closed circuit camera affixed on its surface
in order to get rid of such hazards and it can monitor the
entire activity and can also be coordinated from the
control room. Security can be provided for having safety.
