COURSE: ENTREPRENEURSHIP 1) What is the importance of financial information for entrepreneurs?   Entrepreneurs and the managers of emerging business enterprises need to fully understand basic financial information in case they are to effectively and successfully develop the businesses (Lee & Lee, 2017). The cash flow projections and budgets are the two most crucial tools which help the entrepreneurs in managing risks and setting direction. Therefore, financial information is vital in providing the financial health of the business. In addition, financial information is crucial in making informed decisions as they highlight the areas of the entity that provide the best return on investment (Lee & Lee, 2017). Finally, the information is used in deriving the estimates of credit risk from lenders and creditors thereby determining the financial liquidity, solvency, efficiency, and profitability of the enterprises. 2) What are the benefits of the budgeting process?   The budgeting process has numerous benefits to an individual or an organization. The budgeting process gives control over money, keeps one focused on the money goals, makes them aware of what is going on with the money, helps organize the savings and spending, and aids in producing extra money by eliminating unnecessary spending (Lee & Lee, 2017). Moreover, the budgeting process is beneficial in improving decision making, helping to plan for the future, aids in monitoring performance, and allocating appropriate resources to projects. It helps in the profitability review, planning orientation, review of the assumptions about the business environment, performance evaluations, funding planning, cash allocation, and bottleneck analysis (Lee & Lee, 2017). 3) What is ratio analysis? How can it be used by the entrepreneur?
Ratio analysis is defined as a quantitative method used to gain insight into the operational efficiency, liquidity, and profitability of a company by comparing the information contained in the financial statements (Lee & Lee, 2017). It is usually a cornerstone of the fundamental analysis and the entrepreneurs can use it to evaluate the financial health and performance of a company by utilizing the data from historical and current financial statements. Ratio analysis helps entrepreneurs to compare the performance of an entity over time to assess whether it is deteriorating or improving as well as to compare the financial standing of the firm with the industry average or with companies operating in the industry (Lee & Lee, 2017).
