not have direct competition, it is for this reason that the unsatisfied demand for it is
given by 72% of the people who would not count on our service.

Chapter I II
Location and Size
3.1 Location
Its objective is to identify and analyze the best location for the implementation and
operation of the project, with the purpose of guiding the entity promoting the project
to the choice of possible alternatives and within these to identify a place that

12
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

maximizes the benefits of the project through services, and minimize its
infrastructure costs.

Choosing the best site requires a process of successive approaches,


distinguishing two stages: Macro location and Micro location.

3.1.1 Macro location.


Macro localization consists of evaluating and identifying the region in which this
project “Implementation of a company providing healthy food catering services” will
be located, its different qualities and reasons that have been given for choosing
said place.

It includes the analysis of the geographical context of the place where the project
that is planned to be implemented will be located.

The proposal is to implement the project in the following cities: La Paz, Beni and

Taking into account the following results, the best answer is that the location of this
project “Implementation of a company providing healthy food catering services” will be
carried out in the department of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, especially since In recent
years, it has become the most dynamic center of industrial, commercial and service
activity in Bolivia, with an economy in permanent growth and interesting investment
prospects in different areas.

13
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

 Character Geographic eristics. - The department of Santa Cruz is the


2.
largest in Bolivia, it has a territorial area that amounts to 370,621 km It is
located in the eastern part of the country and borders to the north with the
department of Beni and the Republic of Brazil; to the south with the
department of Chuquisaca and the Republic of Paraguay; to the east with
the Republic of Brazil and to the west with the departments of
Cochabamba and Chuquisaca.
 Climatological Factors. - Santa Cruz has a tropical climate. Average
temperatures are 29 to 32 degrees in spring and summer, but
temperatures of more than 40 degrees (approximately) are also recorded
and drop to 20 or 21 degrees in winter. Santa Cruz has a temperate to cold
climate in the western region (heights of Comarapa, Vallegrande); mild to
warm as you descend towards the plains; warm throughout the plains
region. Cold polar currents (surazos) are frequent in winter.

3.1.2 Microlocation

Micro-location consists of the choice and delimitation of the area and land in which the
project will be installed and operate. It refers to the specific factors that decide the exact
location within the region such as availability. Resource costs, and product costs.

Alternative: A 115 m 2 plot of land, first ring, on Ayacucho Street No. 576 with a cost of
655,500 bs. that has all the basic services (water, electricity, telephone) and also
availability of land, availability of

Conclusion: Our best alternative for the location of the project since it has a land that is
located between the first ring on Ayacucho Street No. 576, since it has multiple access
roads to the place because it is a busy area in order to have greater accessibility for
clients in addition to having transportation and basic services, this street being very
busy.

Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

3.1.3 Location Factors

Size is the production capacity of goods or services that a product can have during a
certain period of time, it is conditioned by many factors such as:

 Proximity to supply points: Supply points are very important for our company
since our services include food.
 Transportation services : The company has access to a network of
transportation routes that connect different markets and cities with each other.
 Laws and regulations: Bolivia's legislation is characterized by being unstable,
perhaps this may have an impact on our profits.
 Availability of labor: Minimum personnel and labor are required to provide
services, which is why we will have adequate and trained personnel.

3.1.4 Qualitative factors

Land Availability. - The land to be occupied with the implementation of the project
is around 115 Mts 2 . This area allows the placement of the different machines and
equipment that will be required for the operation of the catering.

Availability of machinery and equipment. -

It refers to having the equipment and machinery that is available on the market for
use and marketing (sale of accessories and vitamin supplements to complement
the service offered) in our catering center.

Basic services. -
It is part of one of the important variables, this project requires drinking water and a
large amount of electrical energy for the operation of the machinery and
equipment.

Availability of qualified labor. -


In a service project, the main factor is the personnel who must have a high degree
of qualification according to the work area as well as experience.

15
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

Land Cost. -
This factor will influence the investment that will be made in the project, because
land must be found that meets the conditions required for the project.
3.2 Project Size

Size is the production capacity of goods or services per unit of time that the project
can produce or offer during a certain period of operation.

The size of a project is measured by its capacity to produce goods and/or services
in relation to its normal operating time unit; It is also conditioned by factors such
as: the existing demand in the market, the availability of the machinery and
equipment to be used, access to the basic services incurred to offer the service,
and the financing required to set up the company. These factors interrelate with
each other to design the size of the project.

3.2.1 Size Limiting Factors

to) Market

The growth of the population of the city of Santa Cruz indicates that the project itself can
generate interesting high margins from clients demanding the service.

In this project, the market is given by the inhabitants of the Andrés Ibáñez province,
which has a total population of 1,777,213 with a growth rate of 4.2% according to data
from the INE, 2009.

b) Financing

Financing depends on the acquisition of the resources to be used. If there are no


financing sources that are willing to grant credits, it will not be possible to implement the
project.

16
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

Regarding the financing of the “Implementation of a healthy food catering service


provider” project, there will be different sources of financing, such as: contributions from
partners and external sources such as financial entities.

c) Technology

The machinery and equipment to be used for the operation of “Implementation of a


healthy food catering service provider” are located in the department of Santa Cruz, so
through importers we can have access to the following machinery and equipment:

 Ovens
 stoves
 irons
 fryers
 freezing refrigerators
 conservation refrigerators
 chopper
 processor
 blender
 blender
 kneader
 cash registers
 electronic equipment
 coffee makers
 security equipments
 environmental thermal conditioning equipment

Calculation of people capacity


To calculate the space, it must be taken into account that the necessary space will be
different according to the activity to be carried out and, therefore, the type of assembly
chosen. In this project we are going to use 1.20 m2 per person since it is a catering.

This document quantifies the capacity in:

17
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

m2
Number of people = land area / value defined in for each person ( 2m2 )
115m2 100m2
Then taking into account that the area of the land is of which only will be
occupied for the construction of the healthy food catering in such a way that the total
space available will be 50m2 for the realization of healthy food.

DATA:

Available space = 50m2

Defined value = 2mts 2

50/2 = 25 people (Maximum capacity that enters the catering)

Once we have the number of people that can fit in our establishment, we will multiply
that result by the number of hours that the catering will have.

DATA:

Number of people = 25

Hours that the catering will serve = 8 hours

25*8 = 200 (Number of people per day)

Doing these calculations we will serve approximately a total of 200 people per day,
which will be our maximum daily capacity.

3.2.2 Project Size

Healthy food catering has a maximum installed capacity of around 200 people per day.
The capacity that will be used in the first year is 60%, that is, 120 people per day; in the
remaining years it will increase according to the population growth rate.

Chapter IV
Project Engineering
4.1 Concept
This chapter will be responsible for the selection, description and implementation of the
equipment and land necessary for the implementation of a catering service.

The idea of the project consists of the construction of a center that provides catering
services and has modern facilities in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra in district 1. This
center will have the necessary technology to provide the best catering services. In turn,
it will offer a quality service for each client who provides our services for any situation.

Professionalism, economy and quality service are key concepts to be successful in this
business.

A flow diagram will be prepared capable of adequately describing the process of the
service to be offered, as well as determining the requirement in terms of human
resources and machinery for the implementation of the project.

The method used to represent the process of our service is the block diagram, which
relates the process of service provision, from when the client arrives at our place of
service until when the product is delivered with the due cancellation of the other 50 % of
the balance and the respective invoice is issued.

1. Client reception: The first contact with a potential client will be mainly at the
reception. The potential client will have several means of contacting us to request
information such as email, telephone, social networks or visiting our agency.
When the potential client makes contact with our catering service, emphasis will
be placed on the general information about the service, who is part of the team,
the prices and opening hours of our agency for the public. The intention will
always be to make the potential client feel comfortable. It is important that in this
step the receptionist is truly in charge of what the client is looking for so that they
are offered the ideal package regarding their needs.
2. Acquisition service according to their needs: This is where the client has already
decided on what they are looking for based on their needs and details the
service, the date, the place, the time at which the delivery will be made,
managing everything more easily online without the need for the customer to go
to our physical store to access all the packages offered, always guiding us on
what the customer is looking for, as well as doing some prior studies to avoid
having inconveniences.

21
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

3. Payment of 50% in advance: Once all the data necessary to acquire the service
has been detailed, 50% is required to proceed with the preparation of said
package, so the client will have access to pay it in cash as well as by bank
transfer so that it does not is an impediment at the time of making the purchase,
when you do so you will be issued a receipt of what you have paid and the
remaining balance that you will have to pay at the time of receiving our service.
4. Coordination and Preparation of the package: Days prior to the delivery date of
the product, the necessary materials for the production of the product are
purchased in order to provide better quality of the product, the maximum is 1 day
before the indicated date, to avoid inconveniences at the time of preparation.
5. Coordination with staff: An agreement is reached with the staff that helps prepare
the products in order to distribute them in a more efficient way and achieve the
results on the desired days and it is planned to have the product ready hours
before delivery.
6. Final Cancellation: At the time of making the respective delivery to the agreed
place, complying with what is also established in the purchase order, the client
completes the payment, that is, the missing 50% of the total package and
everything is left in the hands of the customer.

Chapter V
Administrative and Legal Aspects
5.1 Business formalization
It was decided to take the legal form of a Limited Liability Company because the
aspects and advantages corresponding to this type of company are adapted to the
characteristics and interests of the company and the partners. These points are detailed
below:

(Characteristics) In limited liability companies, partners are liable up to the amount of


their contributions. (Art.195 C. COM)

- All decisions are made unanimously by the company's partners. On the other hand,
given that it is a society of people, the people who make it up take precedence over the
contributions they make.

- The share capital is divided into capital installments that, in no case, can be
represented by shares or securities that represent ownership.

-The capital installments must be paid in full at the time of legal incorporation of the
company, which will facilitate the rapid start-up of the hotel's operations.

The Bolivian Commercial Code does not establish a minimum share capital. However,
the share capital must be divided into installments of equal value, of Bs. 100 or
multiples of Bs. 100. (Art.198 C. COM)

5.2 Organization
The organization of the company is determined by:

35
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

 For both cases, partners must choose original and exclusive names with clear
and short preferences so that they can be remembered by consumers. You can
check the Fundempresa web portal to see if there are names the same or similar
to your company's.

3. Perform the homonymy check

Verify the availability of a company name or name that your company will use in Bolivia,
through Homonymy Control.

4. Correctly declare the corporate purpose of your company

In other words, it must declare the activity carried out by a commercial company. Taking
into account the specific economic activity carried out and its products and/or services.

5. Register your SRL company in the Bolivian Commerce Registry

The Limited Liability Company company is a type of commercial company in which the
liability is limited to the capital contributed, and, therefore, in the event that debts are
contracted, it is not responded to with the personal assets of the shareholders. partners.

Requirements

1. Form No. 0020 for application for Commercial Registration as an affidavit, duly
completed and signed by the legal representative of the company.

involved, accompanying the respective original professional solvency granted by
the College of Accountants or Auditors.

legalized photocopy, with the insertion of the founding document of the company
containing the resolution approving the bylaws and designating the provisional
board of directors, within the framework of Art. 127 of the Commercial Code.

that contains all the data, a short transcription of the clauses and others. This

36
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

requirement can be submitted later, if the user is subject to the review process
prior to publication before the Bolivian Commerce Registry.

5. Attestation of power of attorney of the original legal representative or legible


legalized photocopy containing the minutes of his appointment, in the case in
which the public deed of constitution does not determine his appointment. If the
legal representative is a foreigner, they must present the original document that
proves the residence in the country (only for verification).

Term and tariff

The period is 2 days, counting from the business day following the filing of the
procedure with the Commercial Registry.

A fee of 455 Bs must be paid.

6. Responsibilities

After having registered the SRL in the commercial registry, the legality of your venture
or company in Bolivia is guaranteed. Remember that the Commercial Registry grants
the Commercial Registration to your company and enables the legal exercise of your
business activities. These are the responsibilities to fulfill before the Bolivian Commerce
registry:

a) Annual update of Commercial Registration

b) Register modification, clarification and/or complementation of the articles of


incorporation and/or statutes

c) Register capital increase

d) Record capital decrease

e) Register Transfer of capital shares of a limited liability company

f) Log of operational changes

g) Record of granting power and/or revocation

37
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

i) Register commercial contracts

j) Dissolution and liquidation of a commercial company and subsequent cancellation of


Commercial Registration

5.5 Tax obligations


An SRL or SA company creates the impression of having a lot of money or having many
dependents, however, an SRL can be established with a capital of up to 200 Bs.

And you are not required to have dependents.

The incorporation of companies requires a minimum of 2 partners for SRL,

To obtain NIT, a deed of incorporation is required (it indicates the contribution of


each partner, and how the company will be managed) and that all partners give a
power of Legal Representative to a natural person (it can be a partner or another
person who is as a representative of the company). This has a separate cost at
notaries, according to the SRL constitution fee, for example. It is Bs 350 and the
power is Bs 150 (according to official tariffs). If you think it is expensive, look here at
the fines that, for example, the SIN applies.

To open a bank account, the bank also requires a deed of incorporation, a power of
attorney from the legal representative and registration with Fundempresa.

National Tax fines are greater for legal entities, see here the table of fines and
sanctions according to natural person (single-person) as opposed to legal entity
(SRL, SA...).

The accountant may ask for more fees but the work can be similar to any sole
proprietorship. The amount of work in any company is determined by the number of
operations, records and their complexity.

6.1 Introduction
Project Investments are all the expenses that are made in a unit of time for the
acquisition of certain Factors or productive means, which allow the implementation of a
production unit that generates a Flow of benefits over time, that is, they are at least
When we talk about investment in a project, we are referring to the monetary
quantification of all the resources that will allow the project to be carried out.
Project investments will be fixed (non-periodic) and for operating capital.
The objective of this chapter is to monetaryly quantify the entire set of assets physically
identified in the project engineering, the investments that will be made in the studies and
execution of the project and the cash needed. It is necessary to identify all the

39

resources that are going to be used, establish the chastities and, based on this
information, carry out the monetary quantification.
6.2 Investment Structure
The following table will show how the investments, both own and financed by third
parties, will be structured. It will show the investments of own contribution and the
amounts of investments with long-term credit financing.

Fixed Investments

Fixed investment are those tangible resources necessary to carry out the project.
The fixed investment of the project is Bs. 741.500

Deferred Investments

It is characterized by its immateriality and are acquired rights and services necessary
for the study and implementation of the project, they are not subject to physical wear
and tear.
The deferred investment (intangible) for this project is Bs. 2.450-
Working Capital

They are those resources that allow the company to start its activities, among which we
have cash, supplies, etc. In order to operate, the company requires resources to cover
the needs of inputs, raw materials, labor, replacement of fixed assets, etc.
The working capital of the project is Bs. 35.840.-

Depreciation table for fixed assets:

According to the calculations made, the depreciation of our fixed assets will be Bs.
48.625. And the residual value at the end of the 5 years will be Bs. 692.875.
6.3 Financing
Financing in a project consists of the financing sources that will be used to obtain the
resources to finance the project.

The analysis in this part of the chapter should be as detailed as possible since by
deciding to contract financing from an external source we would be having an obligation
with the entity; however, we should try to minimize the amount of the credit.

Financing for this project will be classified into two sources:


 Internal Sources
These are the investors' own contributions estimated at an amount of Bs 700,790.00 ,
which represents 90% of the total investment.
 External Sources
They are those resources that cannot be covered by internal sources and will be made
through long-term credits, by the financial institution that is most beneficial and lowest
cost. Financing from an external source is Bs. 79,000.00 , which represents 10% of the
total investment.

43
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

Credit is an instrument that allows you to finance part or all of an investment project.
These credits can be short, medium and long term and can be intended to cover
operating capital or investment.

For the requirement of external financing of the project, the characteristics of the credit
that the institutions offer must be evaluated, in order to use the best alternative at the
time of minimizing costs.
Credits come from different financial institutions and can be channeled through
commercial banks and financial development organizations.
6.4 Credit Characteristics
The credit to be acquired to cover part of the fixed investment, specifically the project
land, has the following characteristics:
Line of Credit: Loans in national currency
 Credit Amount: Bs 79,000.- or $us 11,351
 Interest rate: 6.50% per year
 Term: 8 years
 Payment Method: Payment of constant capital amortizations, due. (German
depreciation system)

PAYMENT PLAN – GERMAN SYSTEM

As we can see in the table, the amortization amount that we are going to pay is 9,875
per year for 8 years, which adds the interest they charge us for having granted us the
credit. The total debt would be 102,107.50 (amortization + interest).
6.5. Income, cost and expense budgets

The budget is a detailed project of the results of an official program of operations, based
on reasonable efficiency. Although the scope of "reasonable efficiency" is indeterminate
and depends on the interpretation of directive policy, it must be specified that a project
should not be confused with a budget. The objective is to make a projection of income
and costs of the project with which both profits and losses can be determined in the
operation stage.

Income budgets

45
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

It is that budget that allows you to project the income that the company will generate in
a certain period of time. The income budget will be determined according to the number
of people who acquire our service, which will be calculated in the market analysis and
also the demand projections for each year.

The prices for the provision of monthly services will be:

Our catering will have the capacity to serve around 200 people a day. At the beginning
we will not have as many clients due to the fact that we are just entering the market, but
it is estimated that we will reach 60% of the clients that we can satisfy. Considering that
not every month we will have that number of clients since there is no linearity in the
acquisition of our services, since there are high seasons like the month of January,
which is where people want to start the year well by eating in a healthy and low seasons
such as the end of the year, we average the number of clients we would have registered
per year, which is specified in the following table:

6.6 Calculation and projection of operating costs


In every productive activity, when offering to manufacture a product or provide a
service, costs are generated, understanding that costs are monetary disbursements
related precisely to the manufacturing of the product or the provision of the service,
either directly or indirectly.
Total operating costs include fixed costs, such as staff salaries and basic services that
must be fulfilled. Also included are variable costs, which change based on factors such
as sales volume and supply prices.
Breakeven volume refers to the amount you must sell to cover your costs.
The costs generated during the execution of the project will be classified using the direct
cost method, that is, the fixed and variable costs. In this way, using data already
calculated previously, the following tables can be prepared.

Easter, which would not be very favorable. for us since it would change and we must be
prepared for those changes.

Chapter VII
Income and Cost Budget
7.1 Introduction

The objective of this chapter is to make a projection of income and costs of the project
with which it will be possible to determine both profits and losses in the operation stage.

The company in its commercial activity receives money for providing healthy catering
services, which as the price or demand for this service increases, income will increase
and therefore profits after having deducted all expenses. Therefore, monetary income is
framed within the equation of consumption and profit.

Expenses include both disbursable expenses and non-disbursable expenses, and


investments; They can be fixed, deferred and working capital; carried out by the
company.

As expenses increase or losses decrease profit. The expense represents a financial


disbursement, whether cash or banking movement. The payment of a service (for
example, water, electricity) and the rent of a commercial premises are some of the
usual expenses that are part of the expenses of companies.

7.2 Specific Objectives


-Detail and describe projected income.

-Detail and describe the projected costs directly.

-Project the results for the life horizon of the project.

7.3 Calculation of VAT Debit and Credit VAT Balance

VAT. (Value added tax) is an indirect tax that taxes consumption. There are two types
of VAT:

TAX CREDIT VAT: It is applied to the acquisition price of a product (purchase) with
invoice.

FISCAL DEBIT VAT: It is applied to the sale price of a product (sale)

50
Eco 400 Project Preparation and Evaluation

To determine the cost price of a product, the VAT tax will never be taken into account,
since all the money spent on VAT TAX CREDIT on the purchase of a product is
recovered with the VAT TAX DEBIT money from the sales. For the company, VAT is not
a decisive factor in a company's losses or profits. VAT is only paid by the final
consumer.

The concept of tax credit has several uses, generally linked to different countries. It can
refer, for example, to the possibility that a company has of reducing the taxes it pays in
its country through those it paid to a foreign government for some international trade
operation.

On the other hand, the tax credit is the amount that a company has paid in taxes when
acquiring a product or input and that can deduct it from the State at the time of resale.

7.4 Preparation of the Income Statement

Definition and Purpose of the Income Statement in Accounting

It is a basic financial statement that represents relevant information (result) about the
operations carried out by an entity during a specific period. It is a complementary
document to the balance sheet that summarizes the relationship of all income, costs,
expenses or losses that occurred in the financial year, with the purpose of establishing
the profit or loss in that specific period of an entity.
 Result = profit or loss
 Operation = main activity
 Entity = legal person and/or natural person}
 Period = calendar year (12 months of the year)

resources in those projects that are most convenient, whether for a company or for the
government.

The project evaluation will compare the alternatives pursued and the direction, financing
and economics, using a beneficial price analysis.

For this analysis, the concepts of Cash Flow will be used, with the Net Present Value
(NPV) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) being the most important, and another less
important indicator is the benefit-cost ratio (B/C).

8.2 Elements of Project Cash Flow


Cash flow is an instrument of financial analysis of profitability, through which the
effective performance of the invested resources is measured, the flows obtained in each
period express the efficiency of the project to generate surpluses and reinvest it.

8.3 Preparation of Cash Flow


In cash flow control, for each time interval, conservative estimate calculations are made
regarding future sources of cash (income) and future expenses (expenses). Use low,
conservative figures for income and high estimates for expenses.

(Expressed in Bolivians)

It allows analyzing the total updated benefit of a project, at a given discount rate and is
measured in net monetary values.

That is to say, this value indicates that once all the credit obligations of the project have
been met and the rate required by the investor has been earned, the value resulting
from the NPV is that generated by the project itself, that is, this amount It must be
greater than zero for the investment to be accepted, otherwise it will be rejected.

Where:
I= Investment or initial disbursement
FNC = Net flow or net balance
n = useful life of the project (years)
i = Performance interest rate (COK)

 NET PRESENT VALUE


This result shows that the NPV of the project is greater than zero, that is, after making
the investments and ending its useful life, the invested capital is recovered and in
addition a return of Bs 586,754.94 is obtained if it were without financing and
1,455,322.50 in case it was with financing, both are greater than 0, so it is advisable to
invest in addition to having additional profit. The COK we used to evaluate the project
was 26% with financing, and 15% without financing.

8.4.3 Calculation of the internal rate of return without and with financing
The internal rate of return can be defined as that update rate that, applied to the net
flow, makes the NPV of the project equal to zero.

This result shows that the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the project is greater than the
opportunity cost of capital (COK. =15% without financing and 26% with financing).
Therefore, the project is profitable whether with or without financing.

8.5 Conclusions on the Viability and Profitability of the Project

 In the study that was carried out on "implementation of a company providing


healthy food catering services" it was concluded that the project is totally viable,
since it obtained a Positive NPV, therefore, the project meets the expectations of
investors which means you earn the COK and it also gives you an additional
benefit.
 The best option is to carry out the project since it gives us greater NPV and IRR.
Which means that we will have a greater profit margin.

 This project is also considered profitable because the study of prices and
marketing of the service to be offered showed that the prices established in the
market have adjusted to the possibilities of potential demand and the level of
average prices charged by other healthy food caterers. .

8.6 RC/B
This indicator tells us if the project is viable, and also measures the degree of development and well-
being that our project can generate in a community.

In this case we can observe that our RC/B both with financing and without financing is
greater than 1 which means that our benefits are greater since our income is greater
than our expenses and consequently the project should be considered.

8.7 Recommendations

 Always take care of and monitor the competition, therefore, it is also advisable to
treat customers with good charisma in order to retain them.
 It is recommended to implement marketing strategies to boost demand, that is,
you can also run promotions to obtain more customers.
 Evaluate the sales behavior of other products to determine to what extent their
sales can be stimulated, as well as the introduction of new products.
 Offer incentives to staff based on the number of customers they can attract.
 To the extent that healthy food catering gains position in the market, or;
according to the possibilities of the project, expand the service offered, through
the possible expansion of the facilities.
