ASSIGNMENT - 3

TASK 1

1 Explain internal and external sources of scrumptious 

Scrumptious is a small but reasonable company that exists in the current market of London and supplies cakes close to London and also across the country. There are various internal and external sources that exist like internal sources of savings and profits of the company and external sources include loans, overdrafts, commercial mortgages, selling shares, venture capital, leasing and factoring (Abor, 2017). These factors are related to the scrumptious cupcake Ltd. savings and profit including the whole budget of the company how much profit was gained by the company and also how much savings are there.

TASK 2

2 (a) Calculate the current breakeven point of scrumptious

The first meaning of the break-even point is that it refers to the revenues which are needed to be covered by the company's total amount of fixed and variable expenses during a specific period of time (Badoer and James, 2016).

Break-even point (BEP): Total fixed cost(TFC)/Contribution per unit (CPU)

CPU = Selling price - variable cost

CPU = £1.75 - £0.60

= £1.15

TFC: Monthly fixed cost * Number of month

TFC: £4300*12 = £51,600

BEP (Number of cup cakes)= £51,600 / £1.15

= 44869.56

BEP (£) = 44869.56*£1.75= 78521.73

Scrumptious now realises how they use their break-even point so that they gain profit from their production. Now calculating the new break-even point because the company reduced their fixed cost.

2(C) Re-calculation of BEP

Break-even point(BEP): Total fixed cost(TFC)/ Contribution per unit(CPU)

CPU=Selling price - variable cost

CPU= £1.75-£0.55

=£1.2

TFC: Monthly fixed cost * Number of month

TFC: £4100*12 = £49200

BEP (Number of cup cakes)= £ 49200/ £1.2

=41000

BEP (£) = 41000*£1.75= 71750

Now in the comparison of both the break-even points of Scrumptious Cupcake Ltd., the company should gain profit from reducing the fixed cost and selling more cupcakes in London and across the country they sell 3000 cakes per month so according to this break-even point result after reducing the fixed rate more gain company achieved  (Sources of finance, 2017).

TASK 3

2(a) Explaining to the sister what is the budget and why it is essential

Heather and Annabel have to know about the basic idea of the budget like how to control the budget in the company. First, they have to control the fixed cost and variable cost of the product so the productivity increases accordingly now in case of emergencies you have to take a loan so you are required to manage the budget so that the company sustain the market trend.

2(b) Using the budget information identify the problems and suggest a remedy

According to the given information about the budget, these two sister targeted a sales revenue cost is 22000 and an actual sales revenue is 20000 so the loss of the cost is 2000 in this sector they have to recover their sales revenue. Now in the part of the rent so this is equal to no profit and no loss and in other FCs they gain profit. In ingredients and other materials, they gain profit so maybe they use good quality ingredients and have fresh production.

3(c) Analyse why their cost needed to be controlled and what are the possible consequences

A mainly poorly controlled budget is a loss of financial reward so if the product is being produced and there is a lack of quantity of quality and also planning of the productivity there will be a great chance that production is not in a proper way and customers will not be satisfied to the product. In future they can increase the quality of the product and also the quantity

Ratio analysis is the best technique to evaluate and examine the financial performance of a company by quantifying the financial results by computing different ratios. With regards to Scrumptious Cupcakes (SC), its financial performance has been evaluated below:

Profitability ratios: SC’s gross profit and net profit ratio have been computed to 54.55% and 19.50% demonstrating that the company is receiving better return on their total turnover. Better pricing decisions at good markup and effective control and curtailment of expenditures may be the reasons for good profitability performance (MATTHEW, FADA and UKONU, 2016).

Liquidity ratios: CR and QR have been found to be 0.78:1 and 0.61:1 lower than the targeted ratio of 2:1 and 1:1. It reflects that the firm has to improve their resources under the current assets such as stock, receivables and cash and reduce their current obligations to pay suppliers on right time.

Gearing ratios:  Debt to the to-equity ratio of Scrumptious Cupcakes is a little bit higher than the target ratio of 0.50:1 to 0.65:1, therefore, it can be said that there is a high investment risk that can be reduced by repaying some long-term borrowings and increasing shareholders equity.

Activity/efficiency/performance ratios: Assets and inventory turnover ratios are 3.19 and 40 times is a clear indication that stock is utilized exceptionally by the managers (Lakshmi, Martin and Venkatesan, 2016). However, debtors' and creditors' days are 6.64 and 54.75 days demonstrating that Scrumptious Cupcakes is getting receipts promptly from the receivables while creditors are paying delayed.

(D)M3 Suggestions to Scrumptious

• In order to improve liquidity, Scrumptious Cupcakes’s managers need to increase their short-term assets and repay some deferral payments to the existing suppliers. Moreover, effective cash management strategies to maintain adequate working capital are necessary for repaying creditors timely (Anwar and et.al., 2016).
• The solvency ratio must be reduced through repayment of long-term borrowings to the lenders and raise additional capital through equity share capital. With the help of this, Scrumptious Cupcakes can maximize their solvency position to meet their long-term obligations as per the repayment schedule it by computing different ratios.

2(1) Evaluation the use of ratio and monitor how the business is doing

On the basis of the above ratio analysis, it has been assessed that the profitability and efficiency performance of Scrumptious because of a higher GP & NP ratio of 54.55% & 19.50% and a high assets turnover ratio of 40 times. However, Scrumptious Cupcakes needs to improve its liquidity position by increasing the availability of short-term assets and minimizing the use of fixed cost of capital, and borrowings to manage the solvency position effectively.

CONCLUSION

From the report, it can be concluded that we discussed the business resources of the future solution and also discussed the technological resources as well as human resources and further for the Scrumptious Cupcakes Ltd. and comparison of the break-even point for these companies.
