A pie chart show the different relative size of budgeted reimbursement for the
year. Provide a concise comment on interpretation what the information
from the graphical record means.
From the below mentioned table and the pie chart diagram, the size of different costs that
are in the budgeted form are clearly visible. In case of Budgeted Sales, the highest amount was
spent on the direct material while the lowest amount was spent on the selling costs of the

products and services (Sastry, 2021). The stated amount of direct labor was 30 (£'000). While the
amount of selling cost was just 5 (£'000). The total amount of variable overheads was 15 (£'000). The
fixed overheads amounted to 10 (£'000). The total cost spent on the administration expenses was just 5
(£'000).

A pie chart showing actual costs for the year Compare 2 pie charts.
From the below mentioned table and the pie chart diagram, the size of different costs that
are in the budgeted form are clearly visible. In case of Budgeted Sales, the highest amount was
spent on the direct labor while the lowest amount was spent on the selling costs of the products
and services. The stated amount of direct labor was 10 (£'000). While the amount of selling cost was

just 5 (£'000). The total amount of variable overheads was also 10 (£'000). The fixed overheads amounted
to 10 (£'000). The total cost spent on the administration expenses was just 5 (£'000).
Comparing the performance of both budgeted and actual costs, it can be seen that there was a
considerable difference between all the values of costs that were spent to run the business operation (Var,
and Gunn, 2020). The amount which was actually spent was comparatively lower as per the budgeted
amount. The respective business organization kept its hands on the cost management in a proper way so
that it should not incur high amount of costs on the business operations. The business organization was
mostly following the convention of conservatism which states that business should keep its projection on
the upcoming costs and expenditure to a higher end so that it can ‘play safe’ (Wayne, 2020). This helped
the company in order to manage the expenses in a better and efficient manner. Although, the output
ascertained was much lower than the budgeted one.

presentation. Provide a brief comment on interpretation what the data
graphs and implication for the business.

 A graph comparison for the 12 months of fund against actual sales.
It can be seen from the below line graph of actual and projected sale of the business
organization that in the beginning of the year the actual sales as compared to the
budgeted sales was lower till the mid-September and increased eventually in the month of
October. It can also be seen that there was a massive increase in the amount of the actual
sales which even surpassed the budgeted sales considerably resulting into higher sales for
the business along with higher returns (Allaoui, Bourgault and Pellerin, 2019).
• Graph comparing Tweleve months of fund against actual gross profit.
It can be seen form the below graph that even though the sales of the company were very
much higher in the existent scenario as equivalence to the fund one (Desiderio, 2021). But the
gross profit ascertained was lower than the budgeted amount showing that the company was
selling and producing goods and services at the minimal profits.

• Graph for 12 months of monetary fund against actual operational profit
It can be seen form the below graph that even though the sales of the company were very
much higher in the budgeted scenario as compared to the budgeted one. But as similar to the
gross profit, the operating profit ascertained was lower than the budgeted amount showing that
the company was selling and producing goods and services at the minimal amount of operating
profits (Stokes, Macintosh and McDowell, 2021).

Calculation of accounting ratios including two profitability ratios and two
liquidity ratios of budgeted and actual years.
1. Profitability Ratios
It is an important ratio that can help in analyzing that a institution quality to bring
forth profits from its revenues or the business operations, statement of financial position
and shareholder equity. These ratios help in efficiency level of the company in order to
generate profit and value for the shareholders of the company (AMAECHI and
OBIWELUOZOR, 2020). These are the ratios that majorly help in developing the
financial metrics of the company. It majorly plays a role in assessing the gross,
operational costs, equilibrium sheet and shareholders’ assets which will be using the
financial data of a particular financial period. A higher profitability ratio is always
considered as best for the company as it helps in increasing the profit margins, growth
and development of the company.
 Operating Profit Ratio: This is a type pf profitability ratio that helps in analyzing the
performance of the company and majorly to reflect the percentage amount of profit that
the company has produced from its business operations before deducting all the taxation
and it will be related to make interest charges of the company. It is analyses and
calculated as divisional the operational profit with the total sales and multiplying it with
100 in order to obtain the amount in the form of percentage (Toner, and et. al., 2021).
This ratio is also named as the earnings before interest and tax margin. It may happen that
the amount of operating profit margin may differentiate across different industries. but

this ratio also helps in revealing the top and best performers in an industry in accordance
to indicating the need for further development.
Formula Calculation
Operating profit / net sales * 100 Budgeted = 486 / 571 * 100 = 85.11 %
Actual = 105 / 150 * 100 = 70 %
Interpretation: It is analyses that the operating cost of profit margin in both the budgeted
and make financial is make a higher than the 15%. Which is considered for the effective
to achieve higher branding and make effective budgeted in the initial to start the year and
make an expected to earn the money. It will be beneficial for the company to make
budgeted and pay all the operation cost in the recent years.
 Net Profit Ratio: It is basically related to provide a basic margin for the growth and
measures to generate the net income and generate the profit of percentage of sales. The
management company will be able to work and achieve higher profit to work and achieve
company's profit and different business division. Net profit margin is usually expressed
as a percentage, but can also be expressed as a decimal (Stich, 2019). The net profit
margin illustrates how every dollar of sales generated by a business turns into profit. Net
profit margin helps stakeholders to assess whether the management of a business is
making enough profit from the business operations and whether operating and overhead
costs are existing or not. This tool of ratio is considered as the most important tool of the
assessing the financial health of the company in the best manner.
Formula Calculation
Operating profit / net sales * 100 Budgeted = 393 / 571 * 100 = 68.82 %
Actual = 76.5 / 150 * 100 = 51%
Interpretation: In the budgeted case, the net income was higher than the existent stating
growth of the company capacity and try to covert sales into potential profit that was
higher with more efficiency. While, it was lower in the actual.
 Liquidity Ratios: The liquidity magnitude relation is one of the important types to
measure financial performance that is used to find out a debtor's noises to deal with the
current financial obligation without raising extraneous form of great. Current ratios
include quick ratio, current ratio, and days sales outstanding (Perkin and Abraham, 2021).
It is considered as one of the most important financial accounting ratios as the regular
capacity of the company to deal with the day to day expenses and the short term financial
obligation helps in maintaining a healthy financial situation of the company.

 Current Ratio: This ratio is basically known as liquidity ratio to measure the company's
ability and show off the short term obligation for the successive growth in the financial
year. This can be helpful for the company and investors and analysis about the company
and make maximize the current assets in the growth of financial current liabilities and
other liabilities (Susmanschi and Ruse, 2018). With the help of current ratio, which is
slightly above the average of the company to considered for the growth and acceptable
nature. This can be related to make a link with industry and make an average to indicate
the risk of losses in payments. Furthermore, if a company have high current ratio then it
will be helpful for the competitors to generate profits and indicates in the management
and inefficiently process of the assets.
Formula Calculation
Current Assets/Current Liabilities Budgeted = 240 / 150 = 1.6
Actual = 100 / 175 = 0.57
Interpretation- these current ratio are showing a budgeted case that was effective for the
growth of company with less risk for current assets. On the other hand, they were higher
than the current liabilities. While on the contrary, there was downfall in the ratio in the
actual scenario that shows that the organization was left with lesser amount of assets than
current liabilities as compared to previous year.
 Quick Ratio: These ratios are mainly work as an indicator of the company's
short-term liquidizes point and standard a company's ability to fitting its short-term issues
with its most liquified assets. Because it will indicates the need and ability of a business
to instantly use cash equivalents (assets that can be quickly converted to cash) to pay off
short-term debts, it is also referred to as an acid test constant. "Acid test" is a slang term
which is used for rapid test designed to produced and try to work with instant results (de
Araújo Lima, Crema and Verbano, 2020). The higher the result of this magnitude
relation, the better the liquid and financial wellness of the institution; The lower this ratio,
the more likely it is that the organisation will have trouble paying its debts.
Formula Calculation
Quick Assets/Current Liabilities Budgeted = 240 – 80 / 150 = 1.066
Actual = 100 – 20 / 175 = 0.45
Interpretation - The quick ratio in the budgeted case was better than the actual one
because in the previous year the company was able to pay off its liabilities with
company's liquid assets as it was close to ideal ratio. While there was a decrease in the
ratio in the actual case indicating a weak financial position on the basis of liquid assets.
