Knowledge Organiser - 3.3 - Effective Financial Management What is cash flow? Cash flow is the movement of money into (inflows) and out of(outflows) the business What is breakeven? Breakeven is when total revenue = total costs. The business make £0. What is financial management? Financial management is deliberately changing monetary variables like cash flows to achieve financial objectives What is profit? Profit is when the total revenues of a business are greater than its total costs How do you calculate breakeven? Breakeven is: Fixed costs/Contribution per unit What is a cash inflow? It is money coming into the business. Also knows as receipts. Example of inflows are: Sales revenue Bank loan How is profit calculated? Profit is calculated as follows: Total revenue - Total costs How do you calculate contribution per unit? Contribution per unit is: Selling price - Variable cost per unit How can you improve cash inflows? Take out a bank loan. Increase revenue by either increasing prices or increasing the quantity sold De-stocking - make a reduction in prices to sell off stock e.g. like Next’s Christmas sale Employ a debt factor Chase up late payments from customers who buy on credit i.e. chase up your debtors Reduce the time given to debtors to pay Sell business assets like unused machinery Issue new company shares. This is only applicable to private and public limited companies. What is profit used for? Profit is used for the following reasons: Investment in research and development to improve product/service Growth - buy new stores, launch new products etc. What is a fixed & variable cost? Fixed: A cost that doesn’t change with output e.g. salaries Variable: A cost that does change What is a cash outflow? It is money leaving the business. Also knows as payments. Examples of outflows are: Wages/salaries Materials Telephone bill What’s the margin of safety (MoS)? This is the difference between the break-even point and the planned level of production/level of output. It lets the business know by how much sales could fall before a loss is made. The higher the MoS the lower the risk of the business failing. Margin of safety = Production - breakeven point What is net cash flow? Net cash flow formula is as follows: Total inflows - Total outflows How can a business raise profits through cutting costs? Reduce material costs Cut staff costs Reduce investment in R&D Reduce marketing What is the opening balance? This is the balance (amount of money) the business has in its bank account at the beginning of the month. It’s the last month’s closing balance. How can you reduce cash outflows? Order fewer materials and stock Delay paying invoices to suppliers because this improves a business’s cash flow position. However this is risky because suppliers might refuse to supply the business with products Lease rather than buy assets all at once. This reduces a business’s cash outflow. Change suppliers - but it could impact quality How can a business raise profits through raising revenue? Improve marketing to increase demand and sales Introduce better quality products Change pricing Revenue = Price x Quantity Sold *The overall impact of a change in price depends on what happens to quantity of sales and costs. What’s the advantages of breakeven analysis? Helps business decision making i.e. you can see whether or not a business idea is sensible by calculating future costs and profit Helps with raising finance i.e. asking a loan from the bank Shows the firm’s MoS You can do a ‘what if’ analysis to see how an increase or decrease in price or costs impacts the b/e What is the closing balance? This is the balance (amount of money) the business has in its bank account at the end of the month. Its calculated as follows: Net Cash Flow + Opening Balance

Knowledge Organiser - 3.3 - Effective Financial Management What are the risks of not completing a breakeven analysis? The business could be making a loss and it doesn’t know and therefore no action is taken to fix it Selling price could be too low to cover total costs. Costs are unknown and could be too high - so the business idea may not be realistic Knowledge Organiser - 3.3 - Effective Financial Management What is an overdraft and what is its pros and cons when using it as a source of finance? An overdraft allows a businesses’ account to go into a negative balance for an agreed period of time and amount. These are short term loans. Advantages: Gives flexibility to businesses in case they are short of cash one month - the business can ‘dip’ into the overdraft to pay for short term bills Disadvantages: Like trade credit if you miss the deadline for a payment you will pay a fee What is internal sources of finance? This is finance that is obtained from within the business. Its main sources are: Selling assets Retained profit What is external sources of finance? This is finance that is obtained from outside the business. Its main sources are: Bank loans Overdraft Trade credit Bonds Share Capital What are the limitations of the breakeven analysis? Assumes costs remain the same at each output level - but this isn’t the case due to ‘economies of scale’ It’s a simplistic model that assumes a firm sells only 1 product - this isn’t the case for most businesses therefore the model isn’t ‘fit for purpose’ for large businesses What is retained profit and what are its pros and cons when using it as a source of finance? Retained profit is money that is kept back from shareholders and put back into the business. It applies only to companies. Advantages: It can be used to finance future investments like opening new stores or pay off business debt. It’s generally a cheap form of borrowing as there's no interest paid. Its also generally risk free unlike a bank loan Disadvantages: Shareholders may be displeased because they are not paid dividends (their share of the profits) and could stop investing in the business What is trade credit and what is its pros and cons when using it as a source of finance? Trade credit is a short term source of finance given by suppliers. A business receives goods in advance and usually having 30 -45 days to pay for them Advantages: It’s interest free and a cheap way of getting finance. You could also receive a discount for early payment Disadvantages: Could cost you if you miss the deadline for payment Trade credit terms are likely to be much stricter for smaller firms How will changes to price and costs affect the break even point? If the selling price increases then the breakeven point will fall If the selling price decreases then the breakeven point will rise If the variable cost per unit increases then the breakeven point will rise If the variable cost per unit decreases then the breakeven point will fall If the fixed costs increase then the breakeven point will rise If the fixed costs decrease then the breakeven point will fall What is selling assets and what are its pros and cons when using it as a source of finance? Selling assets means is selling off under-used or unwanted assets like machinery or buildings Advantages: No interest has to be paid Business ownership isn’t diluted If no longer required - wont affect business operations Disadvantages: You may need them in the future What is share capital and what is its pros and cons when using it as a source of finance? Share capital is when companies sell shares to others to raise money Advantages: You can raise a large amount of money interest free. Its also quite risk free. Disadvantages: Owners can lose control of the business if they sell too many shares. Its called diluting the shareholding What is contribution? Contribution is the amount of money left after having paid variable costs to pay fixed costs. Its calculated by taking away selling price per unit from variable cost per unit

Knowledge Organiser - 3.3 - Effective Financial Management What is a bank loan and what is its pros and cons when using it as a source of finance? A bank loan is money borrowed from a bank that has to be paid back in instalments. These tend to be long term loans but not always. Advantages: You can raise a large amount of money Disadvantages: You will have to pau back interest which means you will pay back more than you received - overall. Businesses that have a lot of debt are likely to get into difficulty if they begin making big losses What are bonds and what are their pros and cons when using it as a source of finance? It’s a long term loan where money is borrowed from companies or governments in exchange for regular interest payments. They can also be traded on a bonds market. Advantages: Regular interest payments Disadvantages: Inflation and exchange rates could reduce the value of their bonds Not applicable to small start-ups - mainly large businesses What is share capital and what is its pros and cons when using it as a source of finance? Share capital is when companies sell shares to others to raise money Advantages: You can raise a large amount of money interest free. Its also quite risk free. Disadvantages: Owners can lose control of the business if they sell too many shares. Its called diluting the shareholding
