INTRODUCTION

rules and regulations laid down by the business. In the following report it states about the
financial transactions and how financial statement are used for the analysis of business. It also

Roosevelt Delicacy.
MAIN BODY
1. Explain the financial transaction and give two examples.
A financial transaction is an understanding or correspondence between a purchaser and a
merchant to trade resources for instalment. It includes an adjustment of the monetary
circumstance of at least two organizations or people. Purchasers and venders are discrete
substances or articles that regularly include the trading of things of significant worth, like data,
merchandise, administrations, and cash. On the off chance that you trade products one time and
cash some other time, it is as yet an exchange. This is known as a double-entry system: the initial
segment is giving cash and the subsequent part is getting products. A currency exchange has
different components that connect, which so far have helped differentiate it from different
exchanges. For example, there would be a release date, a chart field, an exchange type, and
possibly a customer or seller. Some of the examples of financial transactions are: Cash receipts,
purchase orders and many others.

3. Calculate financial ratios
Profitability Ratios:
Net Profit Margin = (Net Profit / Net Sales) * 100
= 118144 / 519740) * 100 = 22.73%
Return on Capital Employed = EBIT / Capital Employed
= 118144 / 251608 = 0.47: 1
Working Notes:
Capital Employed = Total Assets - Total Current Liabilities
= 302748 – 51680 = 251608
4. Evaluate the performance of Rose Roosevelt Delicacy
On the whole, it can be analysed that the net profit ratio assesses to measure the gross
success of an organisation. A high net profit margin shows that the business is successfully
pricing its products in a correct way and is having suitable cost control in the business. The net
profit ratio computed of the company here is 22.73% which shows that the net profit of the
2

company is very low and the business has not been able to utilise the business resources in an
effective manner resulting in such low percentage of net profit.
It can be concluded that the business return on capital employed is less than the half of the
capital employed by the business it states that the company needs to increase its returns in order
to increase the return for the shareholders as well as the for the company itself.
5. Purpose of cash budget, and prepare the layout of cash budget
Cash budget is a statement which uses to establish the estimation of certain figures which
are related to the income and expenditures of the business. Cash budgets are prepared for the
purpose of assessing whether the business has the availability of sufficient cash balance or not
for the intent of operating the business for a future time frame. The cash budget assists to provide
for the organisational insights for its cash requirements or the presence of surplus if any. The
cash budget also assists to determine and ascertain an efficient and effective allocation of cash
needs. The preparation of cash budgets helps businesses in forecasting the future financial needs
of the business, assists in the evaluation and assessment of the performance of business and
describe the situations where the business is required to take corrective measures. The purpose of
making cash budgets lies in the computation of the cash receipts, cash balances and the payments
made in cash relating to the business in a future period of time. The presentation of such
information’s helps the business to assess whether the business is utilising its funds effectively or
not.
