germs and dirt, and ensure cleanliness of any material. It is versatile as its cleaning power
ranges from removing rust, stains and other types of dirt that may be seemingly
unpleasant.

want to maintain those shiny, clean, and old valuable items. This product is made from
natural materials and is just as effective as products that are commercially made.

The change in the numbers of supplies per year increases in relation to the increase in the
number of demands. There is a relative increase in supplies from 2012 to 2013, however,
notable decline for the succeeding three years can be observed.
Projected Demand
The projected demand, based on the Philippine Institute for Developmental Studies on
Philippine Market are shown on Table 3.
The projected demand was based on the assessment of PIDS of the projected market
demand for the segment of other brands. This was computed by considering the
average increase in annual consumption and demand for cleaning products, then
multiplying it with the proportionate share of other brands and non-commercial
products.
Projected Supply
Table 4 shows the total supply of all-purpose cleaning solutions in the market. Figures
were computed based on the Projected Demand given by the PIDRs assessment on
markets in the Philippines.
Projected Market
Years Supply Factor Projected Supply
Demand
The supply factor indicates how much volume can be supplied for every one demand in
a given market setting and condition. For computation of the Supply Factor, please view
Appendix C.
The demand and supply gap was computed by subtracting the projected supply from
the projected demand.
Analysis of the figures show that there is a noticeable gap for the first four years,
especially for the year 2019. However, upon peaking at 2,278,459 units for the year 2020,
the demand and supply gap begins to decline to 1,908,738 units, followed by a low of
759,092 units which could be an indication of increased competitors in the market.
Target Market
The intended consumers of the product are the households, sanitation services, and local
business. The product target market is further stratified through the market segmentation
into demographic and geographic segments enabling the business to better target its
products to relevant consumers.
1. Geographic
GreenCare Co. Ltd segmented its product in the Philippines, starting in
the general areas of Alabang, Paraaque, and Las Pias.
2. Demographic
Green Care Co. Ltd has segmented its product to the demographic
characteristics of the low and middle-class level of income.
3. Targeting
Rural and commercial areas
Rural areas access to cleaning commodities are limited only to
those available in markets nearby (i.e. bleaching solution,
cleaning powders, detergent, etc.). The end-users will have an
additional alternative that is low on price and works efficiently.
Commercial areas access to cleaning commodities is at par, if not
above it. However, though the segment has enough supply from
this area, the price margin among most alternatives are similar to
each other. Thus, with the entry of Mean Green Cleanser, it will
provide an alternative at a low price.
4. Market Share
The proponents decided to take an average of 12.2% market share on the
demand as seen in Appendix D.
5. Projected Sales
Table 5 illustrates the projected sales in units based on an average of 12.2% of
market share demand.

The annual projected sales of the product were computed by multiplying the expected
share of other brands, 11% (2018); 12% (2019 and 2020); 13% (2021); and 12% (2022), with
the GAP to obtain the market share of other brands, then multiplying it by the
percentage share of the partnership from the other brands.

Financial Statement Analysis
Stability
Stability analysis investigates how much debt can be supported by the company
and whether debt and equity are balanced. Current Ratio shows how much the entity can
pay for every P1.00 current debt with its current liabilities. Since the entity is not
expecting to incur any debt from 2020 to 2022, the current ration for the preceding two
years are 1.82-to-1 and 2.15-to-1, meaning that for every P1.00 current liability, the entity
can pay 1.8 and 2.17 from their current assets, for 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Quick rations refers to how much an entity can pay for its currently maturing debt
with its quick assets (cash, securities and receivables). The quick ratio for the first two
years are 1.8 to 1, and 2.17 to 1 meaning, the availability of quick assets to meet currently
maturing obligations are sufficient for every P1.00 debt.
Equity to Debt ratio shows how much of the total capital is from financing, and
how much is from investing. The Debt to Equity ratio for the first two years where debt
is present are 1 : .39, and 1: .35 which means that for every P1 net worth/net asset, .35 of
it of debt.
Profitability
Profitability refers to the ability of the entity to generate income. The Gross Margin
of the company is the ratio of gross margin for every sale. For the 5-year period, the
entitys gross margin ratio are .365 for every 1 peso sale in 2018; .357 for every 1 peso sale
in 2019; .354 for every one peso sale in 2020; .352 for every one peso sale on 2021; and .350
for every one peso sale on 2020. The average gross margin ratio is at .35 which means that
for every 1 peso sale in the 5-year period, the entity is averaging .35 gross profit.
The net margin ratio measures the net income per peso sale. For the 5-year period,
the entitys net profit ratio is -.062 for 2018; .1655 for 2019; .239 for 2020; .216 for 2021; and
.132 for 2022. Average net profit ratio for the 5-year period is .138 which means that in
that period, the entity will average a net income margin of .138 for every peso sale.
The return on investment, on the other hand shows how much an entity
maximizes its capital resources. For the 5 year period, GreenCare is expected to produce
(.0369) return in 2018; .1671 return in 2019; .5748 return in 2020; .3529 return in 2021; and
.1289 return in 2022, for every P1.00 capital worth that it has.
Socio-Economic Aspects
Local government will be able to generate income through local taxes paid by
GreenCare
The employees that will be employed will constitute a decrease in the unemployed
Filipinos in the country
GreenCare will provide alternative with maximum efficiency for minimum costs
Impact on Environment
Conclusions
The Philippines being a tropical country bombarded with harsh rains and scorching heat
is a prime setting for metal oxidation a.k.a. rusting, therefore there is no lack of consumers
in need of this low-cost and high reward product. GreenCare Co. Ltd. is supported by
trustworthy historical data which shows the increasing need for more diverse and eco-
friendly household cleaning solutions. The creation of said business will not only benefit
the partners, potential investors, and unemployed people; but also the environment
through sustainability and awareness. The research shows that although there are
competitors, none have broken into the organic aspect of the market thus solidifying the
ingenuity of the product. The financial studies show that the projected amount of sales
will outweigh the costs to produce the product, and in turn yield a higher net income.
To summarize the conclusions that were drawn for the proposed product:
