CHAPTER V FINANCIAL ASPECT Financial aspect is the most important part of feasibility study, which needs a critical analysis.

Objectives The main objective of this chapter is to evaluate the output of the operation thru the use of financial ratios. These ratios will determine the financial standing of the business. After determining the financial standing, the proponent could conclude the advisable starting number of buses to acquire. Moreover, the proponents could conclude if the business is feasible or not. Major Assumptions The proponents used the following assumptions: 1. The fare revenue is based on the supply. It will not increase for the reason that the demand will not increase for it is correlated with the supply. It will only increase after five years when the number of bus units increase. And also the history of the provision of fare hike for at least five years. 2. The proponents provide two weeks allowance on the sales forecast due to the non-uniformity of point of origin. 3. Salaries will not increase or decrease since the business is newly established, there will be no promotions and retirement. 77

4. The proponents computed for the average commission of Bus drivers and conductors. 1000.00 for the driver and 848.00 for the conductor. 5. The proponents used the straight line method in computing the depreciation of fixed assets. It is computed by subtracting the salvage value which is 10% of the investment cost from the investment cost then divided by the life remaining years. 6. For operation expenses, gasoline and oil will increase 2% yearly. Utilities expense will increase 3% yearly. 7. Repairs and maintenance includes twice a week car wash, minor repairs and the use of spare parts. 8. For administrative expenses, office supplies will increase 5% yearly. Utilities expense will increase by 3% yearly. 9. The yearly withdrawal of the partners is base on the personal needs and necessities. 10. The registration and insurance expense of the brand new bus units will run up to 3 years according to Land transportation Office. So there will be no any registration and Insurance expense for the next 3 years of operation.
