Hi All,
This email outlines the fundamental principles of fiscal discipline and the necessity of prudent financial management and resource conservation within our business.
1. **Basic Business Formula: Sales - Cost = Gross Profit**
Our core objective is to consistently increase sales while simultaneously reducing costs and expenses. These are the primary drivers of our business, ensuring salaries are paid and operations are sustained. Unlike government entities, we must diligently account for every peso spent, as our revenues are not guaranteed.
To illustrate, let's analyze the deductions from each sales transaction:
* **Standard Deductions (52% of Transaction Value):**
* VAT: 12%
* Memorial Care Fund: 15%
* Marketing Expense: 15%
* Collection Fee: 5%
* Insurance: 5%
* **Total: 52%**
* **Joint Venture (JV) Share:**
* Ranges from 40% to 50% (potentially higher if the land was purchased).
* **Development Cost (P3,500/sqm, potentially higher at current costs):**
* Lawn: P8,750
* SSN: P35,000
* GE: P105,000
**Example Application (for a lot previously sold at P60,000 during a promotion):**
* Total Selling Price (TSP): P60,000
* Less 52% Deductions: P31,200
* **Net Gross Profit:** P28,800
* Less JV Share (e.g., 50%): P14,400
* Less Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): P8,750
* **Gross Profit (GP): P5,650**
This P5,650 represents the margin available to cover our operating expenses. In this example, the profit margin is 9.4% (P5,650 / P60,000).
Break even computation:
Using 5,650 as margin as base:
Monthly OE (Estimate
Telephone: P2,000
Electricity 10,000
Water 20,000
Security F 25,000
Staff salary 6 x 16 96,000
Executive salary 30,000
Gas and fuel P5k x4 20,000
Total 203,000
BE = 203,000/5,650 35 lots
This means for the entire year to break even we have to have 35 x 12 = 420 !!! Our target of 100, 200, 300 are not enough to break even!
Thus as seen from reality/background: wherein we had 1 sale, 10 sales,
To address this PNL issue:
1 We have to increase sales by:
Increasing sales
1. Asking for marketing plan
2. Increasing TLP
In HGOMP our former price of P75,000 is way below the competitors P150,000 same as in HGGMP
Reduce cost:
1. Make our marketing events relevant to achieve sales; Marketing is at "AT A PROFIT"
One sbu spent P190,000 for Marketing Event
2. Keep labor costs to a minimum;
3. Find the leaks the small holes where expenses are leaking
he phrase "small holes sink a ship" is a proverb meaning that even seemingly insignificant problems, if ignored, can lead to major disaster. It originates from Benjamin Franklin's quote, "Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship," which highlights how minor costs can accumulate to cause significant financial trouble. In a literal sense, while modern ships have bilge pumps to manage minor leaks, a hole, regardless of size, compromises the hull's integrity and, if large enough or in a critical location, can lead to catastrophic flooding.
Anyone; Please show computation on the contrary that we are making profit
is there a substitute for the formula - sales- cost = GP, BE = Total expenses/ GP plot
Anyone with 10 years business experience or MBA
OTHERWISE WE SEEK ABCD FROM EVERYONE
