 Performance of Business

Black Forest Pharmacy for the month of June made a Gross Profit of $26 490 and Net Profit of
$11 580. However, the total expenses ($14 910) exceeded the amount of Net Profit made for the
month of June by $3 330.

22
 Interpretation of Data

The financial statement for the period May 1st – June 30th shows that the business made a
profit of eleven thousand, five hundred and eighty dollars ($11 580). The entire procedure of
collecting and analysing the financial records of the business was to determine the performance
of the business. The profitability of the business was tested using five ratios. They are the Gross
Profit Margin, Net Profit Margin, Current Ratio, Acid Test Ratio and Rate of Return on Capital.

Before the expenses were paid, the profit was 63% for every $1 the business received;
this is called the gross profit margin. However, after the expenses were deducted, the profit was
28% for every $1 received; this is called the net profit margin. The difference between the Gross
profit margin and Net Profit Margin represents the expenses, which amounted to 35%.

The current ratio shows that the business can cover its debts 2.46 times. This means that
the business can cover its current liabilities 2.46 times. The difference between the current ratio
and the acid ratio shows that the removal of the closing stock doesn’t make a massive impact on
the current assets of the business. The business can cover its debts 1.95 times excluding the
closing stock. The rate of return on capital is 19% for the month of June.

23
 Recommendations

It is recommended that Black Forest Pharmacy:

 Decrease expenses so that a higher net profit could be achieved
 Create advertisement to increase the sale of the business
 Introduce new pharmaceutical goods to the business

24
 Comparisons

The business started with $60 000 in capital, at the end of the financial
period the business had an increase in capital of $9 580 resulting in the total
amount of $69 580 closing capital.

Another comparison can be done on the current assets and the current
liabilities of the business. The current assets was $90 050 whilst the current
liabilities was $39 860. This means that the current liabilities of the business can
be paid off in a short period of time.

25
 Conclusion

After doing this School Based Assessment I have gained greater knowledge of Accounting.
Although this School Based Assessment has helped me a lot to understand accounting, it takes
time and has to be very precise or else it will result in an error. All in all, it was a great
experience.
