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.

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

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,

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

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.
(Expressed in Bolivians)
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:

Taking into account that for the maintenance plan we will have 21 registered monthly,
the pathology plan has 34 registered monthly, the pregnancy plan has 25 registered
monthly and for the weight loss plan there are 40 registered monthly. And annually as
detailed in the table mentioned above.
Income projection from package sales
(Expressed in Bs)
Having all this projected data, we multiply it by the price of the packages, we obtain the
total income per year. Which will give us a total income of 2,688,000Bs for the first
year.

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.
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.

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.
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)

Assessment
8.1 Introduction
The evaluation is an important element to make the decision to allocate available
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).
53

(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)

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.
Results table:
IRR/NO
FINANCING= 27%
IRR/WITH
FINANCING= 56%

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.
