Interpretation of Ratios
- Current Ratio is an indicator of liquidity and higher ratio is considered good. In 20X6 itwas 1.27, in 20X7 it was 2.34 and in 20X8 it was 1.50.
- Quick Ratio focuses on mote liquid assets of a company in comparison to current ratio.In 20X6 it was 0.75, in 20X7 it was 1.38 and in 20X8 it was 0.80.
- Cash Ratio focuses on most liquid assets of a company such as cash etc. Cash ratio for20X7 was better than 20X6 and 20X8.
- Profitability Indicator Ratios focuses on profits a company generates. The higher thebetter. The profit margin in 20X7 was better than 20X6 and 20X8. In 20X8 it was lowest
of the three years.
- Effective Tax Rate tells about the tax rate the company is facing. The lower it is thebetter. It was lowest in 20X8 and was highest in 20X6.
- Debit Ratio tells about the leverage being used be the company. If it has lowerpercentage then it means that the company is less dependent on leverage. In 20X6 it was
58.62%, in 20X7 it was 69.36%and in 20X8 it was 76%.

Approach to Performance Appraisal in a NPO (Not-for-profit Organization)
Generally in performance appraisal we focus on
y Giving employees feedback on their performance.y Identifying how performance can be improved.y Giving incentives.y Improving communication between employee and administration.y Improving performance through counseling, coaching and development.y And applying other human resource techniques.

While approaching a not-for-profit organization (NPO) we can use some of the techniques that
we generally use for performance appraisal such as identification of how performance can be
improved. We can communicate with the staff to know what kind of problems they are facing
and can work on improving them. We can also start training the employees working in an NPO
to enhance their performance.
For an NPO we can focus on its goals and objectives to see whether it is taking right steps to
achieve its goals and objectives. So, instead of focusing on other things as we do in other
organizations we will focus on goals set by a NPO. In such organizations we will not focus on
the profits it is making because all of its profits are utilized in order to achieve its goals. But we
will certainly work to increase its performance and profits. We can apply Management by
Objective Method (MBO) of performance appraisal. It is a process of determining and agreeing
upon objectives within an organization by its management and its employees to understand why
they are in the organization.

SECTION 2
Budget is a document which documents the plan of the business (2). Planning include that of
revenues and that of expenses. This may include the objective of business, targets set, and results
in financial terms, e.g., the target set for sale, resulting cost, growth, and required investment to
achieve the planned sales, and financing source for the investment (2). Budgets are of two
categories: long term and short term. Long term budgets are for a term of more than 5 years and
short tem budget are usually for a term of one year.
Types of Budgets
1. Sales BudgetThe sales budget is an estimate of future sales, often broken down into both units and
dollars. It is used to create company sales goals (3). A sales budget controls the finances
allocated for achieving sales targets of a company (4). It is the standpoint for comparing
the actual sales performance and the budgetary sales performance of a company (4). The
budget guides the company with regard to how much money should be allocated to
selling distribution and sometimes for advertising and marketing (4). A sales budget that
sets realistic targets will help the company make a profit (4).
It helps a company achieve its sales targets and help in reducing sales loses. The
drawback of sales budget is that it can not forecast the future trends of sales and of other
events.
2. Production BudgetProduct oriented companies create a production budget which estimates the number of
units that must be manufactured to meet the sales goals (3). The production budget also
estimates the various costs involved with manufacturing those units, including labor and
material (3).
It helps a company properly manage its products.

3. Cash Flow/Cash BudgetThe cash budget is used to manage cash and controlling cash. It is a prediction of future
cash receipts and expenditures for a particular time period (3). It is usually short term and
it helps in determining the time when the income will be sufficient to cover expenses and
the time when the company will need to seek outside financing. It allows coordination
among different plans within an organization.
4. Marketing BudgetMarketing budget can also be called the advertising budget because it is an estimate of
the funds that will be needed for promotion, advertising, and for public relations in order
to market the product or service (3).
It lets a company plan how to utilize its funds to fulfill both production and functional
needs as well as advertizing needs.
5. Project BudgetThis budget as clear from name determines the budget of a particular project that a
company initiates. These costs include labor, materials, and other related expenses (3).The project budget is often broken down into specific tasks, with task budgets assigned to
each (3).
6. Revenue BudgetThe Revenue Budget consists of revenue receipts of government and the expenditure met
from these revenues (3). Tax revenues are made up of taxes and other duties that the
government levies (3).
7. Expenditure BudgetThis budget lets a company plan its spending on different items. It lets a company
control its expenditure so gain more profit.

Sources of information for a companys cash budget
Following sources should be taken into consideration for making cash budget of a company
Cash receipts. Bank statement. Dividends and interests expenses. Cash balance. Cash sales. Credit sales. Account receivables. Account payable. Inventory. Expenses. Salaries expenses. Administrative expenses. Taxes. Advertising cost. Sales expenses. Loans. Plant and equipment expenses/expenditures. Other expenses and income sources.
Suggestion for budgeting system
Rolling budgets are time consuming and very expensive because a number of budgets have to be
produced each year. Markfield Ltd can use zero-based budgeting system as they are not happy
with the current budgeting system (rolling budgeting system).
A zero-based budgeting system requires that every year, all costs and capital expenditure are
questioned and thus require justification and prioritizing before any decision is taken regarding
the allocation of resources (5). Zero-based budgeting changes the approach of traditional or
incremental budgeting from focusing on changes in expense items from year to year, to an
approach that looks at each department budget as if it were undertaking its activities or program
8/8/2019 afzal hossin

for the first time (5). It requires a detailed justification and cost-benefit approach to each expense
item in the department budget (5). It forces managers to prioritize activities and related expenses
based on a value for money concept (5).
The advantages of such budgeting systems are
It helps in determining the right amount of revenues and expensed while preparingdifferent types of budgets.
Inefficient tasks can be identified easily and waste can be minimized. It helps in better and efficient allocation of all resources.
Since Markfield Ltd has taken many initiatives to improve its performance such as stopping
production of particular lines of items, this budgeting technique will help them better utilize the
changes that they have made. Markfield has introduced many changes in the current year so this
system will help them plan resources from the scratch.
Reasons for each Variance

330,000
Actual Variance
Sales 2,900 3,300 400F
Ingredients (40%) 550 680 130A

Gross Profit 2,200 2,487
Other variable expenses 1400 1500 100A
Contribution 820 987
Fixed overheads 300 340 40A
Profit 520 647
There are two types of variances

If actual results are better than expected results given variance is described as favorablevariance and is denoted by the letter F.
If actual results are worse than expected results given variance is described as adversevariance or unfavorable variance and is denoted by the letter A or the letter U.
Reasons
- Sales variance of400F is favorable and it is because the sales are more than that wereexpected by the company.
- Ingredients variance of130A is unfavorable and may be because of two reasons: eitherdue to more sales more ingredients were required or the cost of ingredients may have
increased.
- Labor and energy variance of3A is also unfavorable and is due to more usage of energyand labor which may be the result of more sales.
- Variable expense of100A is unfavorable and is result of increased number of sales andincreased usage of energy and labor resources.
- Fixed overhead variance of 40A is also unfavorable and seems to be due to abovementioned reasons.
Increase in sales also called other factors to change and this is the reason that we see variance in
the budget.

SECTION 3
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)
Return on Capital Employed is used in finance as a measure of the returns that a company is
realizing from its capital employed (6). It is commonly used as a measure for comparing the
performance between businesses and for assessing whether a business generates enough returns
to pay for its cost of capital (6).
EBIT stands for Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.
ROCE should always be higher than the rate at which the company borrows; otherwise any
increase in borrowing will reduce shareholders' earnings.
Payback Period
It is the length of the time required to recover the cost of an investment. For example, a $5000
investment which returned $2500 per year would have a two year payback period
Payback Period is calculated as
There are two main problems with the payback period method
1. It ignores any benefits that occur after the payback period and, therefore, does notmeasure profitability.
2. It ignores the time value of money.

IRR Calculations
IRRis Internal Rate of Return.
Given the (period, cash flow) pairs (n, Cn) where n is a positive integer, the total number of
periods N, and the net present value NPV, the internal rate of return is given by r in:
Years Cash Flows
$
0 (99,000)
1 55,000
2 35,000
3 25,000
4 22,000
NPV = - 99,000 + 55,000 / (1+ r)1+ 35,000 / (1+ r)
2+ 25,000 / (1+ r)
4+ 22,000 / (1+ r)
4
Using http://www.datadynamica.com/irr.asp I calculated NPV and IRR which is
IRR = 17.569%
NPV = 38000
Since Markfield requires minimum expected rate of return to be 19% and the calculated rate of
return is 17.569% so it is not feasible for Markfield to invest in this proposal.
