Customer Response:
As we are a new entrepreneur of this business, customer response is lower.

Services of instrument:
To operate our business successfully, we have to use a lot of instrument
daily for a long time. These instruments may out of order at any time. If any
instrument is out of order, it will hamper our daily work schedule. Many of
our customers will deprived of using that instrument and may become
dissatisfied.

Accident of customers & trainers:

We need a large number of electronic equipment. If the customers and
trainers are not careful about handling this instrument, it will create an
accident.

Fire:
If our flat is burnt by fire, our instrument will be turned into ash.

 6.8. Solution:

In order to reduce risk, we can do the following things:

 In order to gain a large number of customers, we will give better

facilities than competitors. We will provide trained instructors to our customers. Our
monthly charge is lower than the competitors. But the quality of our service is greater
rather than the competitors.

 By increasing promotional expenditure, we can get a large number of

customers.

 If we buy our instrument from a reputed company and handle these

carefully, we will be able to reduce our cost.

 To protect our instrument we will open an insurance policy. It will give

a security which will reduce the uncertainty of our business.

7.9. Ratio analysis:

1. Current Ratio:

Total current assets

Formula:
Total current liabilities

As we have no current liabilities, we don’t need to find out current ratio.

2. Acid Test Ratio:

Current assets-Investment-Prepaid expenses

Formula:
Current liabilities

We have no current liabilities, so we don’t need to find out acid test ratio.

57
 3. Debt Equity Ratio:

Debt
Formula:
Equity

For operating our business we don’t take any debt, so we don’t need to find
out debt equity ratio.

4. Operating Expanse ratio:

Total operating expense – Interest Expense

Formula:
Net sales

Year-1 Year-2 Year-3 Year-4 Year-5

35, 19,880 33, 85,280 22, 90,280 22, 85,280 22, 85,280

=1.17 =0.955 =0.567 =0.505 =0.454

Here we see day by day operating expanse ratio is lower. It indicates the
signal of our success.

58
5. Inventory Turnover Ratio:

Cost of goods sold

Formula: Average Inventory

Our business is a service business, that’s why we don’t have any cost of
goods sold, so doesn’t need to find out inventory turnover ratio.

6. Average Collection Period:

Accounts receivable
Formula: X 365
Annual sales

We will not give any credit facilities. So we have no accounts receivable.

That’s why average collection period ratio is not required for our business.

59
 7. Return on Total Assets:

Operating income

Formula: Total assets

Year-1 Year-2 Year-3 Year-4 Year-5

64, 70,820 66, 29,226 83, 80,300 106, 15,770 133, 63,649

=0.082 =0.024 =0.209 =0.211 =0.21

From the above calculation we see the return on total asset ratio is
increasing.

8. Return on Equity:
Net income
Formula:
Shareholder Equity

Year-1 Year-2 Year-3 Year-4 Year-5

529,180 158,400 17, 51,074 22, 35,470 27, 47,879

=0.08 =0.02 =0.21 =0.21 =0.21

From the above calculation we see, return on equity ratio is increasing unto
three years & then 3 to 5 years it remains constant.
