Interpretation of the Graph
It could be evaluated from the graph that cash flows of the institute are increasing every
week. The rise is seen as the people are becoming aware of the institute with the promotions and
marketing efforts taken. Training revenues of the institute is increasing every week and also the
online revenues are not increasing. It could be seen from the graph that the online revenues over
all the four weeks have remained constant. The advertising and promotion of the institute have
2

enabled the institute to increase its share. The cash flows and revenes will decrease from next
month as the school and colleges will be closed for vacation and students will join the classes
after 2 months. It could also be states as off season for the institutes as the students at this time
are considerably low. Constant increase in the cash flow shows that it is making effective
utilisation of the resources to generate revenues.
Graph of the cash outflows shows that it has maintained strict control over the costs to
generate higher revenues and cash inflows. Salaries of the staff are considered as fixed cost and
therefore have remained constant for the period of four weeks. With the increase of students cost
of books is increasing and is recognised as variable cost. Bandwidth fees is paid for the online
classes provided by the institute over locations outside locality to the students that are residing in
other cities or rural areas. It is paying utility expenses for the period in week 3 of every month. it
covers all the costs for running business. Rent expenses are also paid every month in week 3
which is irregular payment. Electricity expenses of the institute are paid in alternative weeks.
Administration expenses are also fixed and are paid every week by the institute. Total cash
outflows of institute are not increasing with the same proportion of revenues. it has maintained
effective control over the cost is maintained.
Graph of Net cash flows shows that the cash flows of the institute are increasing with the
constant speed. It means the management is efficiently managing resources for increasing returns
