1. Executive Summary

Light is something precious in our everyday life. It guides us through the day. A day has

24 hours but only a certain amount of hours you can make use of daylight until it gets

dark. What we need when this happens, is a lamp, whether you are reading, writing or

just sitting in front of your desk. A lamp is there to keep your room bright and you no

longer have to sit in the dark at your desk.

We as IntelBright want to improve the living environment. We are confident that our

lamp is the right choice for our customers since it provides a healthy living habitat.

Haven’t you ever been in a situation where you have been so sunk into your work that

you did not realize how fast time was passing by? Before you realized it, it was already

getting dark outside and you started to get a headache because you did not turn on your

light at your desk. Or the fact that your child was sitting in front of the desk with no

light and you had to come in to turn on the light. What if you as a parent are not at home?

Don t you think that a lamp which turns on automatically would make things way easier

for you and your family? Our lamp will turn on automatically and you no longer have to

worry that your child might sit in the dark. IntelBright makes it possible for you!

To prevent situations like this, we have created an intelligent lamp. A lamp, that thinks

itself, leaving you with the comfort of knowing that someone takes care of you!

Our unique lamp has a built-in sensor that automatically turns on the lamp when it is

too dark outside to comfortably without artificial light. In addition to this, another

sensor is integrated to sensor movement to turn the lamp on if you sit down at your

desk.

IntelBright keeps the living environment healthy and is saving energy at the same time

for you. With our desk lamp, you don t have to deal with issues likes sore eyes anymore.

We make it possible for you to read, write and work in a well-illuminated environment.

Page 7: BSP Report

This Business Plan has been written by seven highly motivated students who believe in

the vision of developing an unique desk lamp (IntelBright) to brighten your day as soon

as it get s dark outside. We keep our promises.

2.3 Mission Statement

With our efficient and innovative lamp, we from IntelBright want to brighten up your

daily life and also improve your well-being.

2.4 Business Definition

2.4.1 Vision

In a world full of workaholics and performance pressure we as a company want to

achieve that our future customers are able to improve their work environment and

start to enjoy the time they are spending in front of their desk. IntelBright will lighten

up a typical day of work – in so many ways.

2.4.2 Values

For us as a company it is very important to create a product that suits our customers

best; a product that keeps its promises and improves our customers’ daily life.

IntelBright is a brand that will provide a great service to the customer and customer’s

satisfaction will always be the most important value to us.

2.5 Financial position

Our initial investment in our company was €30,000. This equals to a Paid-In-Capital

amount of €4,285.71. In addition to this investment, we received a €25,000 bank loan

as well. This bank loan has a duration a maximum of one years and an interest rate of

5%.

Variable Redemption has been agreed on. Further details can be deduced from the

Financial Part.

Page 17: BSP Report

12

2.6 Product introduction

The idea was to create a desk lamp that sensors movement nearby and turns on

automatically when it gets too dark in the room. This will help the customer to reduce

eye issues due to insufficient light conditions.

These issues, like sore eyes, can be prevented from reading in a well-illuminated

environment. Our lamp will provide a healthy work- and living habitat.

3. External Analysis

3.1 DESTEP Analysis

3.1.1 Demographic environment

In 2010, around 16.6 million people were living in the Netherlands. This number makes

the Netherlands one of the most crowded countries in the world. Due to its relatively

small size, the population per square kilometre is around 400 people.

On the following graph you can see the population development starting in 1950 with

the most recent numbers in 2010.

Around half of all inhabitants are living in the so-called Randstad, the western part of

the Netherlands with the cities like Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht.

Education is available for everybody and mandatory for children. Due to this fact, more

than 99% of all habitants are capable of reading and writing. In 2007 almost 560,000

students were enrolled in either a University or Hogeschool. This big number compared

to the total number of inhabitants proves that a high number of employees with

Diplomas are working in this country. This makes the Netherlands a very attractive

country for our company.

Page 19: BSP Report

14

The next graph provides an overview over the age groups in the Netherlands. The

largest groups consist of people of the age between 40 and 55 which are in particular

our target group.

3.1.2 Economic environment

The Netherlands is a well-developed country, which is one of the most prosperous

countries within the European Union. In 2008, global financial and economic crisis had

erupted and it influenced the Dutch economy. However, the Dutch economy has been

recovering in the second half of 2009. In 2010, the GDP per capital (current price) in the

Netherlands is US$ 46,418 and this data was the second highest in Europe, the 10th

highest in the world. In recent years, the Dutch GDP per capital for the PPP (purchasing

power parity) increased gradually; in 2010 the Dutch PPP is US$40,777, the 8th in the

world.

Page 20: BSP Report

15

Furthermore, the tertiary sector employs the most people. Overall 79% of all workers

and employees work in this sector.

Although Dutch GDP increased, the rate of unemployment also increased. In 2008, the

rate of unemployment was 2.8%, but in 2010 it increased up to 4.2%, in 2011, the

forecast data about unemployment will level to 4.4%.

Page 21: BSP Report

16

3.1.3 Social/Cultural

The Netherlands is a small country but also a “Business giant”. The Netherlands, a small

country of only 16.6 million of population and 40,000 square kilometres, but creates a

GDP of 6,127 billion dollars per year and is the 16th largest economy in the world. The

success in business has gone hand in hand with the high labour productivity of Dutch

people. And this high labour productivity benefits from the pleasant working

environment and the employees' rights. As we know, the Dutch government and

companies attach great importance to employees’ working state and health. And it's

worth taking a moment to emphasize the holiday and leave system of the Netherlands.

Holidays and Leaves is really one of the most important things in the Dutch life. In

addition to vacations, the Dutch government has established various laws and

regulations to guarantee employees' rights. For example, since 1998, each firm must

hire consultants, responsible for the inspection and supervision of providing the

employees working environment conformed to requirements and related equipment.

Our company is dedicated to create a lamp to reduce eye issues and then keep working

state. So we have the same goal with the government and companies.

Page 22: BSP Report

17

3.1.4 Technological environment

Nowadays, many high technology things are invented; new products come in to the

market very frequent. Especially the lamp, there are many kind of lamps in the market.

In the development of science and technology, more and more people begin to use the

Internet. Online stores become more popular. This opens a whole new way for selling

our product.

The chart below gives an overview over the percentage of people in the Netherlands

that use the Internet.

3.1.5 Ecological

In recent years, as a consequence of rapid economic and population growth, the energy

consumption has increased significantly. As we know, this can give rise to too much

pollutions and environmental degradation. Companies have to pay attention to the

ever-changing environment. Companies are influencing the environment, consciously

or unconsciously.

The Netherlands contribute a great importance to the environment and the government

has established a number of relevant regulations and policies. You can see that the

Netherlands is a well-developed country with a well-developed environment.

Due to the geographical location of the Netherlands, the changes in nature caused by

global warming will have an extraordinary effect. The majority of the Netherlands are

Page 23: BSP Report

18

located under the current sea level. For this reason, a special interest to limit the

damages caused by global warming can be detected.

3.1.6 Political environment

The European Union’s ambition to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20% by 2020 in

comparison to 1990 has an effect on the Dutch political environment.

EU directives such as the Eco Design Directive were ratified and will have a significant

impact on the electronic market in the future. This directive commits producers of

electronic devices such as office equipment to reduce their energy consumption to 1 to

2 watts at max of they are in stand-by mode. If they are switched off, an upper limit in

consumption of one watt has been established.

Those laws and directives have to be obeyed to have a chance to get a foot into the

Dutch market.

Approval marks like the CE-mark must be obtained. Furthermore, requirements for

directives like the EMV have to be fulfilled.

3.2 Competitors Analysis

Every company has competitors when entering the market.

IntelBright competes with companies offering lighting equipment. Since we will start

our business in the Netherlands, we will compete with companies in the Netherlands

offering lighting equipment. These are our main competitors: Philips, Ikea and

Artemide.

Our main competitor is Ikea. The competition we will face with Ikea is that they offer

different types of desk lamps for a low price. The cheapest lamp Ikea provides can be

bought for €9,99.

Page 24: BSP Report

19

Grono Table lamp

IntelBright is offering just one lamp for €59, 95. We will solve this problem by

designing different lamps in the future. The difference between IKEA and us is that Ikea

is not as technologically advanced as we are. They provide only ordinary lamps which

the customers have to turn on and off. We from IntelBright offer a desk lamp with two

sensors. It turns on automatically it gets dark outside. The other is a movement sensor

that turns on the lamp as soon as the customer sits at the desk.

We also compete with Artemide who offers desk lamps as well. Those lamps have a high

quality and are priced at high prices. These lamps are not made for everyone because of

the high price. Nevertheless, their outstanding design and quality makes them one of

the first choices among households with a higher income.

Artemide provides this desk lamp for 261€

Page 25: BSP Report

20

Compared to Ikea, who offers lamps for everyone, Artemide provides lamps in classical,

minimalistic designs. It is often this design, paired with the outstanding quality that

leads to a customer’s choice towards Artemide.

We compete with Artemide because we offer IntelBright for €59.95 which is a high

price. In addition the quality they offer is excellent which IntelBright offers as well. We

have chosen Artemide because of the fact that they, as well as IntelBright, target high

income households. IntelBright targets families in a high social standard. This is the

reason why we compete with Artemide.

Philips offers desk lamps with the main idea to improve the living environment. The

desk lamp they offer has a remote control with what the customers can decide for how

long they want to lighten the room but so far they did not construct a lamp with two

sensors which automatically turns on if it gets dark and a sensor for movement.

IntelBright and Philips share the idea of an

environmentally friendly company.

This is the remote controlled lamp, Philips offers.

4. Marketing Plan

4.1 Marketing Strategy

4.1.1 Target Groups

We want to focus on households especially on people who have a home office in their

household and parents who want a safe work environment for their children.

IntelBright prevents eye damage and is a smart and innovative way of helping you or

your children to work safely. We want to target those households because of the

academic education of their parents. Those people are highly educated and are willing

to buy our product.

4.1.2 Marketing Position

During the first year, the IntelBright will be made out of high quality materials and is

not meant to be a cheap lamp, but neither really expensive. We believe that people who

really care about their health are willing to pay more money for a lamp who regulates

the amount of light in the room and in that way prevents permanent eye damage and

other health issues that come along with it. But we are a starting company so the price

will be reasonable and in a good balance with the materials that are used. We will

position ourselves as a small company with a strong product; our goal is to make sure

people recognize the lamp as an IntelBright.

4.1.3 Marketing Objectives

- The first year:

The first year will be tough; we need to promote IntelBright at stores and online. We

can also advertise in magazines and approach customers on fairs. It is important that

we satisfy our customers in the best way we can, so they will tell about the lamp to their

friends and colleagues. The best way of promotion is when people tell it to each other.

The first year we mainly concentrate on promoting our product. Good promotion is

Page 27: BSP Report

22

necessary otherwise IntelBright will fail. We need to convince customer that IntelBright

is really an improvement.

- The second year:

If the promotion in the first year goes well, we can focus on making profit in the second

year. In the first year we will spend a lot of money on advertising. We should continue

with approaching customers and try to increase our number of Sales. Our goal is that

people know our brand and our product, but promotion is still needed in the second

year. If business goes well enough we can start exploring for a new target group. We

want to increase our Brand Awareness

- The third year:

In the third year people will know our product and they are familiar with the brand

IntelBright. We slightly introduce ourselves to the Business Market. Promotion is still

an important task. Our new target groups need a different approach. For this target

group we should advertise in business magazines, newspapers and contact office

supplies companies. The promotion for the household target group will be smaller

because it will be running in the right direction.

4.2 Market Potential

Since the Dutch economy is growing at the moment, we as a company will have a high

market potential.

The economy is growing, salaries are rising and future customers will be willing to

spend more money; especially when it comes to a new and innovative product, which

will make their work environment more pleasant and improve their general well-being.

Page 28: BSP Report

23

4.3 Sustainability

In times of the inevitable global warming it is very important for our company and us to

produce as little Carbon as possible.

Furthermore we only use our own desk lamps throughout our office. These lamps in

combination with energy saving light bulbs help to reduce our energy consumption.

All of our boxes used to ship our products were produced only from recycled cardboard.

If the customer wishes, he or she can order our lamps online with only a little extra

charge to ensure it is transported in a carbon dioxide neutral way. The money collected

will be transferred to an organization, which will support projects all over the globe

that protect the rain forest, plant new trees or help the environment in many ways. We

from IntelBright will double this amount at the end of each year and donate it to various

projects that support sustainable projects in South America or Asia for example.

When it comes to our Office supplies, we only use recycled paper. Using this kind of

paper helps to reduce the deforestation all over the globe.

Page 30: BSP Report

IntelBright will introduce a lamp that is innovative and efficient. The lamp has a modern,

minimalistic design and is simple structured. A light and movement sensor provides

light as soon as needed.

The installed light sensor measures if there is enough light available in the room. The

lamp will not turn on automatically unless the movement sensor also notices movement

in a radius of 1m. Since both sensors are working together, the lamp will shut down as

soon as there is no movement for more than seven minutes. Because our movement

sensor is really sensitive, it is able to differentiate between someone reading and no one

sitting at the desk at all.

Packaging

The picture below shows the packaging of our product. It consists out of recycled

cardboard and is environmentally friendly. The reason why we preferred a horizontal

packaging is that it will provide more stability and it will be easier for the customer to

take the lamp out of the box. The size of the package will be 17 x 60 x 17 (cm). The

design of the package reflects the simplicity and innovation of our lamp. We chose the

colors green and brown for the logo because it shows the environmentally friendly side

of our company and lamp. Green reflects the nature and sustainability while brown is a

synonym for the earth we live on. The white colored package stresses again the

simplicity of the lamp. All together it represents all the aspects of our company.

Page 31: BSP Report

26

4.4.2 Price

The price for the lamp will be €59,95 if purchased it in our online store.

Retailers would have to pay a price of €45,95 in order to have the lamp in their

assortment. The recommended retail price would be €59,95 as well

4.4.3 Promotion

To promote our Intelbright lamp we decided to promote it in various ways. For the first

year we have a budget of € 60.000 to freely spent on advertisement and promotion, on

average we can spend € 5.000 every month. We focus on parents with children. We

want to advertise and promote our product at places and in magazines that are related

to our target group. We will show our forms of promotion and advertisement on the

next pages together with the costs that come a long.

The main goal of our promotional strategy is to introduce our product to the families.

People need to be aware of the fact that there is a totally new product on the market,

which will help to improve their working conditions dramatically. Not only the special

technology will convince future customers to buy our product but also all the benefits

the lamp provides.

4.4.4 Place/ Physical Distribution

Our Product will be manufactured in China. After they have been shipped to Rotterdam

and transported to our office in Arnhem, we redirect the product to the stores

throughout the Netherlands.

We are also selling our Product throughout our own Website to our customers. This

enables our customers to order their lamp right from their home.

Furthermore we selected the following stores to offer our product:

Page 32: BSP Report

27

Media Market, an electronic supermarket attracts a large number of customers to their

stores. Even though their main focus lies on consumer electronics, we believe that our

lamp is a good addition to their range of goods.

We selected Blokker because this store offers a little bit of everything. You can purchase

a lot of different things there and for this reason we believe to find new customers in

this store

4.4.5 Advertisement Analysis

4.4.5.1Magazines

Why advertise in magazines?

We want to advertise our IntelBright lamp in magazines because in that way we can

reach the target group we focus on. We focus on highly educated people and there are

many magazines available in the Netherlands. Those magazines have a lot of readers

every month, so it is interesting for us, the IntelBright Company, to advertise in these

magazines. There are different kinds of advertisement so there will be a way that suits

us best.

Magazines that will fit our advertisement campaign are the Linda, Vtwonen, Margriet

and other well read magazines. These magazines will fit our advertisement campaign

because they are read by a lot of families and also by a lot of families who can easily pay

the price we set for our IntelBright lamp.

How are we advertising?

The first way of advertising will be a full page in magazines in full color. We will present

a design of our lamp and it will also show our company slogan: “IntelBright – Efficient

and Innovative”. At the bottom of the advertisement we will place the text: “Available at

www.intelbright.jimdo.com and at selected stores.” People can find the selected stores

in the back of the magazine and there is an electronic store locater based on an area

code search on our website.

Page 33: BSP Report

28

Because of the fact that a whole page advertisement is very cost consuming, our

company will also start to concentrate on smaller advertisements. We will only use a ¼

(vertical) of a page. This is also in full color. The advertisement will show a design of the

lamp and our slogan. Furthermore it will tell the customer “Available at

www.intelbright.jimdo.com and selected stores.” At the time we start with less and

smaller advertisements most of our customers will already recognize the company

name and logo. The brand awareness will increase.

To make sure that people keep focusing on our lamp we will advertise one more time

with a full-page advertisement. This will take place six months after the first

advertisement took place. People will be refocusing on the product. In magazine Linda

we can only advertise with a full page advertisement, so we choose to do that only two

times. The other magazine, VT Wonen provides us a lot of possibilities.

When are we advertising?

We will do a lot of advertising in the beginning of the selling process. It is important

that business people are aware of the fact that our IntelBright lamp entered the market.

Most of the magazines we chose will appear every month and are mostly spread among

people with an academic degree and interest in new products like our lamp .

Page 34: BSP Report

29

We want to place an advertisement every third month; we start with a whole page in

full color advertisement and then we place a smaller advertisement in the magazine.

How much will it cost to advertise?

The total cost of the advertisement depends on how we advertise. It is attractive to also

advertise in 1/4 V pages together with the full pages and in multiple magazines. The

1/1-page advertisements will be the first advertisement. Over the year we will

advertise two more times, only with smaller advertisements placed.

On average we spend: 32.640.80 / 12 = 2720.06 € every month.

The total advertisement cost for the magazine vtwonen is showed below in the table.

Whom can we reach?

Vtwonen is spread under 148.316 people every month, 42.677 people have a contract

on the magazine, the rest are mainly individual buys. Together with advertisements in

other magazines we can reach a lot of people. Most families have a magazine at home or

read magazines at the waiting room at the doctors or dentist. A lot of people will see our

advertisement.

4.4.5.2 Online Advertisement

The online advertisement has increases dramatically over the last years. More and

more possible customer can be addressed by advertisement placed on websites for

example. We from IntelBright want to use this opportunity.

Fairs:

Why promote at fairs?

An interesting and costs saving way of advertisement is creating a stand on a fair where

we can introduce our product. Our target groups are families. The best way to get in

contact with them is at a place where they are all together. A lot of families come

together at fairs, so it is a perfect opportunity for us as IntelBright to introduce our

IntelBright lamp. Fairs for the beginning of the school year are held mainly during the

summer months of the year; the advantage is that we can choose which fairs we want to

attend and which not.

How do we use our stand?

It is important that we use our stand in the right way, so the future customers whom

visit our stand completely understand the meaning of our product. We do not need a big

stand, around 6m² is big enough. We need a place to store the lamps so people can

experience the IntelBright lamp themselves. Next to this we need a spot where we can

give information about the price and a place to explain how our lamp works. Here we

can hand out flyers of our IntelBright lamp with information over the lamp and the

costs. Those flyers are ordered online with 50.000 pieces per time, the total cost for

50.000 pieces is € 2.253,85 incl. taxes.

When are we promoting on fairs?

The time of promotion depends on the dates of the different fairs. To lower the costs it

is better if a few of the company owners were to represent our company on the stand.

For this reason we do not need to hire any people. Based on this knowledge we have to

Page 36: BSP Report

31

see when we as staff of IntelBright are available. We are willing do as many fairs as

possible in a year.

How much would it cost?

The cost for a stand on a fair is variable, but we can create a guideline by using

information of the “Business fair Oss and surrounding area”. There are cost for the

rental of the stand, depending on the amount of space you need, costs for the use of

energy and your need to eat.

The flyers for the fairs are also used for the companies visits, so they are not showed in

the individual tables but in the end cost list.

The table below shows the total cost for a stand on a fair for two days.

In-Store Promotion:

Why promote in stores?

An attractive way to address people is to promote and demonstrate our product in

retail stores we want to sell our product. People are there to buy something, so their

mind is set on buying, if you give a good demonstration people are more willing to buy

because they see what the advantage of our product is.

How do we promote in stores?

Page 37: BSP Report

32

We can create a little stand, like we do on the fairs. People can walk to it, look at the

lamp and try it out. But because it’s sometimes really busy at stores like the media

market we can choose to get people attention by using a microphone. People will look

what is going on. We will give the people a short demonstration and provide them of

the information they need. We can also hand out flyers we also use for the fairs.

When are we promoting in stores?

The best days to promote in stores are the Saturday, Thursday nights and the buying

Sunday. The buying Sunday is once every month. At those days there are a lot of people

in the city to do shopping and it is the perfect opportunity to address people. It’s not

necessary to promote the whole day, early in the mornings it will not be so busy as in

the midday.

In the beginning it is wise to give more demonstrations because we need to create

brand awareness. We can create this by showing the product to future customers.

How many would it cost?

We need to pay for the flyers, but we can share these cost with the fairs. The advantage

of this way of promotion is that it is really cheap. We should call the companies in

advantage and make appointments with them when we can stand where, in which store.

It depends on the store if you need to pay money, mostly it is not needed, because when

you give the demonstrations people will buy more, so there is something in advantage

for them too.

Billboards

We want to place full color advertisements on billboards among the biggest and most

crowded places in the Netherlands. Cities like Amsterdam, Utrecht or Rotterdam are

promising markets.

The estimated costs for this campaign are approximately €23,219.2 The campaign

would last only two weeks but would increase our sales noticeably.

Below you can find an overview over our marketing expenses.

5. Logistics

5.1 Manufacturing

We still set up our manufacturing base in China as so many international companies

have done. Production costs are very attractive in comparison to other countries. Our

Logistics department’s goal is to try our best to cut the cost and increase efficiency and

effectiveness. All of our items of products will be manufactured in Shenzhen,

Guangdong Province, China.

This picture shows the distribution of the company manufactures lamps in Guangdong

Province, China. Guangdong province has a well-developed light industry and is proud

of its ports from where goods are shipped to everywhere in the world.

All production and assembling process of our lamps will be finished in Shenzhen,

Guangdong Province, China. After packaging, they are ready to be shipped to the

Netherlands.

Page 40: BSP Report

5.2 Basic information of product

Our lamp is a unique product designed for businessmen. The size of our lamp is 223mm

x 525mm x 200mm, which is neither too big nor too small. The lamp will meet the need

for professional lighting for business people, but will also show the taste and the simple

design business people are looking for.

5.3 Cost of Product

We have spent a lot of time on research part since the choices are really extensive in

China. Our Chinese Manager Sebastian also stays in contact with Chinese companies

directly. Although it won’t cost a lot in China, we put a special emphasis on quality. After

our research, we got this data.

Lamp Body 5€

LED 1.50€

Sensors 2€

Other costs 4€

Total Costs 12.50€

A. As we said before, there are a great number of lamp manufacturing company in

Guangdong province, China. Most of them manufacture the primary lamp themself.

For this reason, we can purchase the primary lamps at a very low price because of

the competition between these companies.

B. The LED energy-saving bulb and the sensor are the core part of our lamp. We chose

high-quality parts over cheaper and less comparable parts.

C. As to the other costs, they include packaging, shipping and the assembly of our

product.

5.4 Packaging and Shipping

Package

Our lamp size is 223mm x 525mm x 200mm. In addition to this, our lamp is detachable.

We decide to choose the 170mm x 600mm x 170mm size for the packaging boxes.

Our lamps are fragile. For this reason we put soft foam at both sides of the box to

minimize the risk of damage during transportation

Page 42: BSP Report

37

Shipping

We choose a standard 20 foot container for shipment. Its capacity is about

29, 03 m³, which is enough to transport 1500 of our lamps.

Package size 17 x 60 x 17 cm

Container size (20GP) 5.69 x 2.34 x 2.18 m

Batch size 500

Shipping fee €937

Shipping cost per product €937/1500= €0,62

We use the “JC Trans Group” in China as our shipping partner. According to the present

price, the regular fare for a 20GP container from Shenzhen to Rotterdam is $1350

which equals to €937. This number includes delivery from the harbour of Rotterdam to

our office in Arnhem.

The following link refers to the website of “JC Trans Group”.

http://www.jctrans.cn/English/

5.5 Storage

The shipping service from “JC Trans Group” is “door to door”. When the products arrive

in Rotterdam, they will be transported to our warehouse address that we give them in

advance. Once they arrive at the warehouse, the quantity and the quality of the boxes

will be checked. We will rent two rooms in Arnhem, Gelderland 6825BS. The exact

address is Ijsselburcht 3, Arnhem, Gelderland, 6825 BS.

One room will be used for our office and the other one will serve as a warehouse. The

office suites will be supplied with carpeting, power-, telephone- and internet

Page 43: BSP Report

38

connections and the rent for each room is €500 per month. So our rental expenses per

month are €1,000.

The Headquarter of Flexas, the company that owns our offices, is located in the United

Kingdom. Our offices and warehouse are located in Arnhem.

6.3.1 Description of Income Statement

On our income statement, at the beginning of our first business year, we need to make

investments. For this reason, we have higher expenses in operating.

After the first month, everything starts to go more steadily. On the other side, because

of the season factors, our sales revenues have some fluctuation throughout the year,

with the result that we will have different numbers of products being produced.

Because of we have the same operating expense every month, except the first month, ,

we have a negative EBT and we don’t need to pay tax for those months.

In total, at the end of our first business year, our net income is €7658.79, it will be the

added as retained earnings to our closing balance sheet.

6.6 Ratios

6.6.1 Current Ratio

Current Ratio is calculated by current assets divided by current liabilities, it is used to

evaluate our company’s liquidity. So, for our company:

Current Ratio= Current Assets/ Current liabilities= 53,146.29/ 18,750.00=2.83

6.6.2 Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity (ROE)

Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity is calculated by net income divided by average

common stockholders’ equity. Because of the beginning stockholder’s equity is same

with final stockholder’s equity, so our company’s ROE is:

ROE= Net Income/ Average Common Stockholders’ Equity = 7,658.79 /30000= 14%

Page 55: BSP Report

50

6.6.3 Return on Assets (ROA)

Return on Assets is calculated by net income divided by average total assets, so our

company’s ROA is:

ROA=Net Income/ Average Total Assets= 7,658.79 / [( 56,408.79 + 65,000)/2]=12.6%

This means our assets generate profits is effectively.

6.7 Break-even Analysis

Our fixed costs equal € 324647.5

Our variable costs are € 12.50

Break Even Point: Fixed Costs / (Sale Price-Variable Cost)

324647.5/ (59,95-12,5)= 6842
