FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS
1
Based on the inflation rate, the selling price will rise by 3.74%.

2 The straight-line method will be used to calculate depreciation.

3
There is no work in progress.
4 The costs are split 30% office and 70% factory.
5 Each partner will receive an equal share of profits and losses.
6 The rate of salary growth will be 3.74%.
7 Ending inventory is calculated using 1% of projected sales for the
following year, or 1/2 %.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT INTERPRETATION

- The return on investment is calculated to evaluate the efficiency or profitability of an
investment.

 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND
PAYBACK PERIOD
INTERPRETATION
- This
portion of the research shows the duration required for the firm to recoup an
investment.

NET PRESENT VALUE INTERPRETATION

Table 5.9 Net Present Value

 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND
INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN
INTERPRETATION
- The internal rate of return is used in financial analysis to determine whether new
investments are viable.
INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN = 54.5%

Table 5.10 Internal Rate of Return

 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND
BENEFIT COST RATIO
INTERPRETATION
-The cost-benefit analysis uses the benefit-cost ratio, primarily used in capital budgeting,
to summarize the overall relationship between a proposed enterprise's relative
costs and benefits.

Table 5.11 Benefit Cost Ratio

 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND
PROFITABILITY INDEX RATIO
INTERPRETATION
- A ratio illustrates the total investment of the present value anticipated future cash
flows.

Table 5.12 Profitability Index Ratio

 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
• ROI of 50% in the first year
• Payback period for around ten (10) months.
• Net Present Value of PHP 1,704,340.51
• IRR of 54.5 %
• Benefit-cost ratio is 2.94.
 CHAPTER 6

SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECT
BENEFITS TO THE SOCIETY
TO THE BARANGAY
• lower the barangay's unemployment rate
• RHCoal Company will hire a total of 12 people.

TO THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT

• paid for taxes and permissions such as business permit and license renewals,
annual estate taxes, and other municipal government needs.
• The proposed business is expected to pay a minimum of PHP 5,000
 CHAPTER 6

SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECT
TO THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
• paying the required taxes to the government.
• liable to income tax of 30%, or Php 130,881.27

BENEFITS TO THE ECONOMY

• Tanauan is the second-class component city
• 12 workers
• lowering the region's unemployment rate
• business's projected first-year payroll is PHP 540,000.
• the firm projects a five-year average net income of PHP 1,327,264.48.
 CHAPTER 7

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT
The proposed business will manufacture its product using machines and waste materials.
The waste includes:
• corrugated box
• styro-sheets
• paper from the sticker label
These waste products will be handled correctly and disposed of properly.
 CHAPTER 8

SUMMARY
• Aims to design a product that is not only cheaper but also tidy to use, easy to
ignite, and eco-friendlier.

• The researchers found that the traditional wood charcoal available on the
market lacked environmental safety, was difficult to ignite depending on the
type of wood, and was not uniform in size, which gave them a hard time using it.

• Product development focuses on satisfying environmental standards and

customer needs. The briquette is cylindrical in shape, with 2 inches in height and
50.8 mm in diameter. It also has a single hole in the middle for faster
combustion.
 CHAPTER 8

BrewCoal: An Eco-
• The sellingBriquette
price of the product is PHP 240
with a 20% markup.
• An eco-briquette is uniform in size, easy to
ignite, tidy to use, cheaper than traditional
wood charcoal, and compliant with
environmental standards.
 CHAPTER 8

Conclusion
• Produce a product that uses environmentally friendly materials,
such as used coffee grounds from coffee shops, which is the main
component of the briquette.
• Conducted in the three cities in Batangas, considering them as
potential markets because of their economic aspects.
• The survey conducted discovered that 89.62% of the respondents
were willing to buy the proposed product.
 CHAPTER 8

Conclusion
• The market study also showed that the proposed product has a
market share of 1.72% in the first year and has a projected demand
of 53,221.
• The proposed product is cheaper than traditional wood charcoal
since it is expected to be priced at PHP 240.00, which is 120 pesos
cheaper than traditional wood charcoal.
• The eco-briquette gained 15.49% for the value of fixed carbon it
will lessen land destruction by utilizing the used coffee grounds.
 CHAPTER 8
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation 1
• Having eco-briquettes in every
grilling business permits them to
grill in an eco-friendly way.
Recommendation 2
• The proposed product is cheaper,
easier to use, uniform in size, and
environmentally friendly.
Recommendation 3
• It was recommended that grilling
businesses switch to a greener
way of grilling their products.
Recommendation 4
• Having eco-briquettes in every
grilling business permits them to
grill in an eco-friendly way.
Recommendation 5
• The government should provide
subsidies to produce briquettes as it
positively impacts economics, energy,
and, above all, reducing emissions.
Recommendation 6
• The proposed business is feasible based
on the analytical tools used, so it is
recommended to be established.
