SHS Module 7
 What I Need to Know
Now that you have identified what business to undertake and are familiar with
the tools and materials needed in the operation of your business, let us apply what you
have learned in the previous module by forecasting the revenues and costs incurred in
your business. You might probably be wondering how profits are computed. This
module will help guide you realize the revenues and profits of your chosen business.

Revenue is a result when sales exceed the cost to produce goods or render the
services. Cost on the other hand simply refers to the amount of money used to produce
or manufacture goods/merchandise as well as costs incured in selling the
goods/merchandise. How much revenues and costs incurred in the operation of the
business, how are these projected, and how are these used to compute profit/loss of the
business shall be learned in this module.

This module is divided into two lessons:

Lesson 1 – Forecasting the revenues of the business

Lesson 2 – Forecasting the costs to be incurred

To be able to successfully complete this module, previous knowledge in multiplying

numbers will best help.

Why forecast? We often watch news as Kuya Kim reports the direction of the
typhoon in the next 2 days, what Kuya Kim is doing is giving us information taken by
satellites and gives us the direction of the typhoon. In weather forecasting, the reporter
is giving us advance information that could help us prepare and be ready for upcoming
typhoon. This way, risks such as accidents, devastation of properties and loss of life
may be prevented.

Forecasting is a tool used in planning that aims to support management or a

business owner in its desire to adjust and cope with uncertainties of the future.
Forecasting depends on data from the past and present and to make meaningful
estimates on revenues and costs. Forecasting revenues and costs is the same as weather
forecasting, though forecasting revenues and costs is in the context of business.
Entrepreneurs use forecasting techniques to determine events that

1 CO_Q2_Entrepreneurship
SHS
 might affect the operation of the business such as sales expectations, costs incurred in
the business as well as the profit that the business is earning. Making informed estimates
reduces risks that might be experienced by the entrepreneur in the future.

In this module, you will be making informed estimates about revenues and
calculate estimates involving costs incurred by the business. Factors affecting
forecasting will be discussed to better help you in making projections.

After carefully studying the contents of this module, you should be able to:

 identify essential factors in forecasting revenues and costs;

 calculate mark-up and selling price of a product or merchandise;
 compute projected revenues;
 compute projected costs; and
 create a table showing projected revenue and costs.
 appreciate the significance of forecasting revenues an costs to a business

Lesson 1 Forecasting The Revenues
Of The Business

What’s In
You have learned in the previous lesson the 4Ms of operations; you now have
the idea on what product/s to manufacture and sell. Now, you also have a business
model. One of the most challenging parts in developing a business plan is the financial
plan. This part allows the entrepreneur to make decisions based on financial
assumptions without even having started the business. Therefore, these financial
projections should be given the most attention by the entrepreneur.

Let us now examine how the sale of products generates revenues. In this
lesson, we will identify the mark-up and selling price of the product. We will also
project the revenues that the business will make from the sale of products

What’s New

Have you tried estimating the time that it takes you to travel from home to
school? Try to fill in the necessary information in the table below. Write your estimate
in Estimated Time column, after arriving to school fill in the Actual Time in the blank
provided.

Estimated Time Actual Time

1. _
2. _
3. _

How close were your estimates compared to the actual time? Did your
estimate fall short compared to the actual time? What do you think were the

5 CO_Q2_Entrepreneurship
SHS
factors that might have contributed in getting you early to school? List the reasons in the
blank.

On the other hand, does your actual time exceed your estimates? What do
you think were the factors that might have contributed in arriving later than your
estimated time? List the reasons in the blank.

What is It
Making informed estimates requires careful considerations on several factors
that might affect the outcome of your travel such as, distance from home to school, the
means of transportation you will be taking, the number of passengers and etc. Traveling
from home to school on a regular basis had helped you arrive with an estimate that was
very close to the actual time of arrival.

Considering these factors is essential in making informed estimates by the

entrepreneur. Since the business he/she is venturing hasn’t started yet, it is important
that these factors affecting forecasting will be determined to better help him/her in
making the best decisions for the business.

For the entrepreneur, after realizing the potential for profit of his/her business
concept, the next step is to estimate how much the revenue is on a daily, monthly and
annual basis. Before going to forecasting and projecting the revenues of the business, let
us determine first what revenue is.

Revenue is a result when sales exceed the cost to produce goods or render
the services. Revenue is recognized when earned, whether paid in cash or charged to the
account of the customer. Other terms related to revenue include Sales and Service
Income. Sales is used especially when the nature of business is merchandising or
retailing, while Service Income is used to record revenues earned by rendering
services.

6 CO_Q2_Entrepreneurship
SHS
 Now that you know about revenue, Let us determine the factors to consider in
forecasting revenues.
You have just learned about what revenue is. This time, let us study the
various factors to consider in forecasting revenues.
The entrepreneur would want his/her forecasting for his/her small business as
credible and as accurate as possible to avoid complications in the future. In estimating
potential revenue for the business, factors such as external and internal factors that can
affect the business must be considered. These factors should serve as basis in
forecasting revenues of the business. These factors are:
1. The economic condition of the country. When the economy grows, its growth is
experienced by the consumers. Consumers are more likely to buy products and services.
The entrepreneur must be able to identify the overall health of the economy in order to
make informed estimates. A healthy economy makes good business.
2. The competing businesses or competitors. Observe how your competitors are doing
business. Since you share the same market with them, information about the number of
products sold daily or the number of items they are carrying will give you idea as to
how much your competitors are selling. This will give you a benchmark on how much
products you need to stock your business in order to cope with the customer demand.
This will also give you a better estimate as to how much market share is available for
you to exploit.
3. Changes happening in the community. Changes happening in the environment such
as customer demographic, lifestyle and buying behavior give the entrepreneur a better
perspective about the market. The entrepreneur should always be keen in adapting to
these changes in order to sustain the business. For example, teens usually follow popular
celebrities especially in their fashion trend. Being able to anticipate these changes
allows the entrepreneur to maximize sales potential.
4. The internal aspect of the business. Another factor that affects forecasting revenues
in the business itself. Plant capacity often plays a very important role in forecasting. For
example, a “Puto” maker can only make 250 pieces of puto every day; therefore, he can
only sell as much as 250 pieces of puto every day. The

7 CO_Q2_Entrepreneurship
SHS
number of products manufactured and made depends on the capacity of the plant,
availability of raw materials and labour and also the number of salespersons determine
the amount of revenues earned by an entrepreneur.
Now that all factors affecting forecasting revenues are identified, you can now
calculate and project potential revenues of your chosen business. The table below shows
an example of revenues forecasted in a Ready to Wear Online Selling Business.
Example: Ms. Fashion Nista recently opened her dream business and named
it Fit Mo’to Ready to Wear Online Selling Business, an online selling business which
specializes in ready to wear clothes for teens and young adults. Based on her initial
interview among several online selling businesses, the average number of t-shirts sold
every day is 10 and the average pair of fashion jeans sold every day is 6. From the
information gathered, Ms. Nista projected the revenue of her Fit Mo’to Ready to Wear
Online Selling Business.
She gets her supplies at a local RTW dealer in the city. The cost per piece of
t-shirt is 90 pesos, while a pair of fashion jeans costs 230 pesos per piece. She then adds
a 50 percent mark up to every piece of RTW sold.
Mark up refers to the amount added to the cost to come up with the selling
price. The formula for getting the mark up price is as follows:

Mark Up Price = ( Cost x Desired Mark Up Percentage)

Mark Up for T-shirt = ( 90.00 x .50)
Mark Up for T-shirt = 45.00

In calculating for the selling price, the formula is as follows:

Selling Price = Cost + Mark Up
Selling Price = 90.00 + 45.00 Selling
Price for T-shirt = 135.00

Table 1 shows the projected daily revenue of Ms. Nista’s online selling
business. Computations regarding the projected revenue is presented in letters in upper
case A, B, C, D, and E.

Total 320.00 160.00 480.00 16 3,420.00

Table 2 shows the projected monthly and yearly revenue of Ms. Nista’s online selling
business. Computations about the monthly revenue is calculated by multipying daily
revenues by 30 days ( 1 month).

For example, in Table 1 the daily revenue is 3,420.00. To get the monthly
projected revenue it is multiplied by 30 days. Therefore,

Projected Monthly Revenue = Projected Daily Revenue x 30 days

Projected Monthly Revenue = 3,420.00 x 30

Projected Monthly Revenue = 102,600.00

On the other hand, the projected yearly revenue is computed by multiplying

the monthly revenue by 12 months. The calculation for projected yearly revenue is as
follows.

Projected Yearly Revenue = Projected Daily Revenue x 365 days

Projected Yearly Revenue = 3,420.00 x 365

Projected Yearly Revenue = 1,248,300.00

Total 480.00 480 102,600.00 5,840 1,248,300.00

Table 3 shows the projected monthly revenues covering one year of operation.
The table shows an average increase of revenue every month by 5 percent except June,
July to October and December. While the month of June has twice the increase from the
previous month by 10 percent, let us consider that months covering July to October are
considered to be Off-Peak months, therefore sales from July to October are expected to
decrease. It is assumed that there is no increase in revenue from July to August, while
from August to October the decrease in revenues is 5 percent from previous month.
Since revenues from sales of RTW’s are considered to be seasonal, it assumed that there
is a 10 percent increase in revenue from November to December.

Computation for assumed increase of reveneue on specific months is as follows:

Projected Monthly Revenue (Increase) = Revenue (January) x 5 % Increase

Projected Monthly Revenue (Increase) = 102,600.00 x .05

Projected Monthly Revenue (Increase) = 5,130.00

Projected Revenue for February = Revenue (January) + Amount of Increase

Projected Revenue for February = 102,600.00 + 5,130.00

Projected Revenue for February = 107,730.00

1 CO_Q2_Entrepreneurship
SHS
 On the other hand, decrease in revenue is computed as follows:

Projected Monthly Revenue (Decrease) = Revenue (August) x 5 % Increase

Projected Monthly Revenue (Increase) = 144,041.14 x .05

Projected Monthly Revenue (Increase) = 7,202.06

Projected Revenue for September = Revenue (August) - Amount of Decrease

Projected Revenue for September = 144,041.14 – 7,202.06

Projected Revenue for September = 136,839.08

December Increase of 10% from previous revenue
The numbers in the last table are very attractive, having revenues that are
increasing in numbers is a good sign that a business is growing. However, an
entrepreneur should not be overwhelmed by these revenues, as these are just gross
revenue, this is not the final amount of profit or income an entrepreneur will get at the
end of every period. Take note that the amount of net revenue is still subjected to the
expenses incurred in the operation of business.

1 CO_Q2_Entrepreneurship
SHS
 What’s More
After learning the calculations presented, you can now compute the projected
revenue by day, month and year based on your business concept.

Aling Minda is operating a buy and sell business, she sells broomsticks (walis
tingting) in her stall at a local market. She gets her broomsticks from a local supplier for
25 pesos each. She then adds 50 percent mark-up on each broomstick. Every day, aling
Minda can sell 30 broomsticks.

Use the template below and fill in the necessary figures based on the
scenario. Remember to use the factors to consider in projecting revenues and refer to
Tables 1, 2 and 3 as your guide.

What I Have Learned

Entrepreneurs use _ techniques to determine events
that might affect the operation of the business. Factors such as and
must be considered to avoid possible complications in the future. To
forecast revenues, it is best that the entrepreneur must be acquainted with the
, and _ _ to determine the selling price of a product. This
way, the selling price is then multiplied to the projected volume to arrive with the
.
The entrepreneur should always present the assumptions to consider in
projecting revenues, may it be seasonality, economic slow down or changes in costumer
preferences and the like. This will help achieve the best educated estimate of your
revenues

1 CO_Q2_Entrepreneurship
SHS
 What I Can Do

It is understood that you now know how to calculate mark-up and selling
price of an item or merchandise. Let us try the following situations to see if you have
understood the concepts.

1. Kyle, a local entrepreneur is planning to sell 10 liter-bottled waters in his sari-sari store.
A local water purifying business in the city sells their 10-liter bottled water for 20 pesos
each. Kyle wants to add 25 per cent mark up from the original cost of 10 liters bottled
water. Calculate how much mark-up Kyle should add. Determine how much should be
the selling price for 10-liter bottled water.
2. Zoei sells fruits in a local fruit stand in the market. She gets her fruits from a local
wholesaler in the city. Zoei charges 40 per cent mark up for every kilo of watermelon
she gets. Suppose the cost per kilo of watermelon is 25, how much is the selling price
for one kilo of watermelon?

Assessment

Directions: Write True if the statement is correct, while False if the statement is
incorrect.
_1. When sales exceed the cost to produce goods its result is called
forecasting.
_2. Mark-up refers to the amount added to the cost of a product to determine the
selling price.
_3. Forecasting is a planning tool that helps the entrepreneur cope with
uncertainties in his future operation.
_4. Costs incurred through payment of utilities such as water and electricity are
called operating expenses.
_5. Mang Mario is a fruit vendor. Selling fruits is an example of a service
concern business.
_6. The selling price of a product is calculated by adding its cost per unit and
mark-up.
_7. Merchandise or goods purchased are called Purchases.
_8. Aling Becky sells suman in her neighbourhood, every day she can sell 75
pieces of suman for 5.00 pesos each. Her daily revenue is 325.00 pesos.
_9. Loss is a result when cost to produce goods is greater than the sales.

Lesson 2Forecasting The Cost To Be Incurre

What’s In

You have learned in Lesson 1 that the revenue generated by selling RTW’s
has a corresponding amount of costs incurred. This cost is the amount of RTW before
adding its mark-up price. Each piece of t-shirt has a corresponding cost of 90.00 pesos,
while each pair of jeans has a corresponding cost of 230.00 pesos. These costs are
incurred each time revenues are generated. On the other hand, the business also incurs
costs in its operation, these costs are called Operating Expenses. Operating expenses
such as payment on Internet connection, Utilities expense (Electricity), Salaries and
Wages and Miscellaneous are essential in the operation of the business; this allows the
business to continue to operate in a given period of time.
Now that you have learned what cost is, let us identify the costs and expenses
incurred by the business in generating revenues.

What’s New
Have you tried recording the amount of money you spend from your daily

for its upkeep. It would be best for any business to arrive with a positive total; this
would mean profit for the business. Careful consideration and projection of these factors
could mean success for the business.

What is It

You have just learned about what cost is. This time let us identify costs and
expenses incurred by the business.
Cost of Goods Sold / Cost of Sales refer to the amount of merchandise
or goods sold by the business for a given period of time. This is computed by adding the
beginning inventory to the Net Amount of Purchases to arrive with Cost of Goods
available for sale from which the Merchandise Inventory, end is subtracted.
Merchandise Inventory, beginning refers to goods and merchandise at
the beginning of operation of business or accounting period.
Purchases refer to the merchandise or goods purchased. Example: Cost to
buy each pair of Jeans or t-shirt from a supplier.

1 CO_Q2_Entrepreneurship
SHS
 Merchandise Inventory, end refers to goods and merchandise left at the
end of operation or accounting period.
Freight-in refers to amount paid to transport goods or merchandise
purchased from the supplier to the buyer. In this case, it is the buyer who shoulders
these cost.
In a merchandising business such as Fit Mo’to Ready to Wear Online Selling
Business, the formula to compute for costs of goods sold is as follows:

Merchandise Inventory, beginning P

XX.XX Add: Net Cost of Purchases
XX.XX
Freight-in XX.XX
Cost of Goods Available for Sale P XX.XX
Less: Merchandise Inventory, end
XX.XX
Cost of Goods Sold P
XX.XX

Let us calculate the cost of goods sold by Ms. Fashion Nista’s online selling
business for the month of January.

Table 4 shows the costs incurred during the first month of operation of Fit Mo’to
Ready to Wear Online Selling Business. Since Ms. Nista gets her stocks from an online
supplier, there is no need to order ahead and stock more items. Therefore, there is no
Merchandise Inventory, beginning as well as Merchandise Inventory, end. Ready to
wear items purchased online from the supplier are then sold as soon as they arrived.

Cost of goods is calculated by simply multiplying the number of items sold

every month (300 t-shirts and 180 pairs of jeans) to its corresponding cost per unit
( 90.00 pesos for every t-shirt and 230.00 pesos for every pair of jeans). A cost in
transporting the goods from the supplier to the seller (Ms. Nista) or Freight- in is then
added to Net Cost of Purchases.

Jeans 230.00 180 41,400.00
Total 320.00 480 68,400.00

Table 5 shows how freight-in is calculated.

It is assumed that at an average, Ms. Nista pays at least 250.00 pesos for every 12
items delivered successfully by her supplier through a courier service. Since her average
order is 480 pieces every month, she pays:

480 pcs. / 12 pcs. x 250.00

40 x 250.00 = 10,000.00

T-Shirts 10 300 6,250.00

Jeans 6 180 3,750.00

Total 16 480 10,000.00

Let us now substitute the values from Table 4 and Table 5. Since there is no
Merchandise Inventory, beginning and end, let us add Cost of Purchases and Freight-in
to get the Cost of Goods Sold.

 Merchandise Inventory, beginning P 00.00
Add: Net Cost of Purchases 68,400.00
Freight-in 10,000.00
Cost of Goods Available for Sale P 78,400.00
Less: Merchandise Inventory, end 00.00
Cost of Goods Sold P 78,400.00

Now that the cost of goods sold is now calculated, let us now identify
expenses that the business incurs in its operation. Operating expenses such as
Internet connection, and Utilities like electricity and miscellaneous expense are
important to keep the business running. These expenses are part of the total costs
incurred by the business in its day-to-day operation and are paid every end of the month.
The operating expenses and assumed amounts are presented below:
Operating Expenses
Add: Internet Connection P 1,299.00
Utilities (Electricity) 800.00
Miscellaneous expense P 300.00
Total Operating Expense P 2,399.00

To calculate the total costs incurred by the business, cost of goods sold and
total operating expenses are then added. The calculation for the costs incurred for the
month of January is presented below:

Cost of Goods Sold P 78,400.00

Total Operating Expense P 2,399.00
Cost P 80,799.00

The entrepreneur should always present the assumptions to consider in

projecting costs, may it be cost of goods sold or operating expenses. This will help
achieve the best educated estimates of your costs. The entreprenuer must clearly
identify costs incurred in the business operation. _ _ is the amount of goods
or merchandise sold during a period of time which incurs a large portion of the total
cost of a __ _ business. The cost of goods
sold can be calculated by simply multiplying __ to its corresponding
. A cost in transporting the goods from the
supplier to the seller or _ is then added to Net Cost of
Purchases.
