INTRODUCTION

The new project of setting up a new smartphone to replace the old smartphone is an

attractive project to the company. The following tools can be used by the company for an

appropriate recommendation;

 The Wrike project tool; This is a project management tool that goes beyond traditional or

old fashion tasks and project management. The tool is very vital in projecting new

models of technology. Henceforth it is applicable in the management of the new phone.

 The Trello tool; This tool provides a varying list of lists about the different uses and

differences between the existing smartphone and the new smartphone.

 The base camp tool; This manages project group undertakings and client work which is

very for a new project that cuts across.

 The share point tool; The tool enables team collaboration and management of the product

software tools.

 The Podio tool; This is also a project management software that enables efficient decision

making.

The key features of the objection and appeal process against the commissioner's decision are the

type of residence, the financial year, and the type of tax levied among others. The appeal is to be

filled 30 days within the date of notice of filing the returns. The appeal is majorly centered on

finding a solution to the problems about the filing of returns and any un compliance in the whole

process. It also arises due to disagreements in the whole taxation process. The person who

disagrees with the commissioner appeals to the tribunal for reconciliation. The orders that are

appealable are; orders passed by the commissioner of taxes; orders passed by jurisdictions.
FINANCIAL REPORT 3

Steps for filing an appeal.

The following features are required to file an appeal:

 Two copies of the order appealed against with an additional copy.

 Two copies of the assessing officers, the copies in total two of grounds of appeal earlier

submitted before the authority.

 Two copies of the statement of facts provided before the CIT.

 Two copies of assessment order in a case where the appeal is against penalty order.

 Two copies of the directions of the joint commissioner are also required.

All the required steps are essential in completing the appeal process. The process goes through

the claim of the appeal that emphasizes that the given taxes incurred are not true or were untruly

calculated and then the evidence of the claim is supposed to be submitted to the required firm,

this is in form of the people that computed the tax that is being claimed. The documents showing

the difference in the claims that which is true and that which is not true. These documents are

also that of the accountants or the different financial statements, receipts among others. The last

detail is the warrant issued that connects the claim and the evidence of the claim.

Importance of business economics.

Business economics helps in business planning whereby managers of businesses look at

costs and revenue got to look for possible solutions to the future of their business entities; this is

also beneficial to the making of the business budgets in terms of the costs involved in producing

commodities and possible revenue to cater for all production costs; these are determined by the

level of costs and revenue in the past fiscal years.


FINANCIAL REPORT 4

Business economics is also helpful in cost control; businesses use costs and revenues

incurred in past fiscal years to cater for future periods of trade; this also helps in managing

budgets such that the company does not go past allocated costs originally planned for. Managers

are advised to follow the guidelines allocated in the planning period, what goes beyond the

planned expenditure should be neglected in the planning process.

Business economics is also useful in demand forecasting; this is the future trend of

customers in the business entity. Planning for future demand enables the business to allocate the

expected forecasted revenue it expects from the business. Managers must allocate more costs and

resources to departments with a high demand which in the long run increases the company's

future revenue. The vice versa is also true.

Business economics is useful in the coordination process of business activities. Different

departments are allocated activities according to the costs and revenues expected; the two

determine where to allocate more resources for example in the sales department or any other that

requires urgent input. The activities of the business are also allocated to reduce the cost and there

needs to be a look at cost-sharing in the business.

Business economics is also helpful in the business organization of the business. The

organization is organized according to the costs and revenues earned by the business. Cost-

sharing makes it possible for the business to divide the business between who to collect revenue

from the customers, who to look for customers, who to account for all the earned money in the

business, and who to procure the required items for production among others.

Business economics is also helpful in the making of business policies; the policies of the

business are decided after certain factors are considered; for instance, a business that earns a lot
FINANCIAL REPORT 5

of revenue in a year looks at increasing production in that product that has made much money,

activities that make low money are reduced in the production costs; this is also important in

reducing costs in the future.

Business economics is also helpful in profit planning and control; this is essential as more

revenue means an increase in profits that leads to major decisions of increasing investment in

those businesses. The profits are also used effectively to grow the organization and the business

at large. Business predictions are also done in the business by looking at the costs and revenue;

this is important as it helps to know the future of the business entity and know where to invest.

The roles of financial statements.

Financial statements are critical for users to take effective decisions in many ways as follows:

The income statement enables companies to know their profit and loss margins and also

the nature of trends in sales and expenses is known.

The income statement further enables companies to establish shares with the public.

Public investors can tell whether a company is doing a profit or loss (Srinivasan, 1999).

The balance sheet enables companies to establish liquidity and debt ratios in the business,

This enables a company to know whether it should apply for more loans. This further is required

by banks and credit facilities to determine whether the business should be lent more cash.

Cash flows also enable the business to determine cash at hand and spent and the nature of

flow in the business.

The primary users of the statements can assess the company's prospects for the future net

cash flows (Hisrick, 2002).


FINANCIAL REPORT 6

The business entity concept is one of the accounting concepts that emphasize that the financial

transactions of a business should be separated from that of its owner, for example; if a director

buys extra land at 1000$ to the business, this is a liability that the business ought to pay and for

the owner its an asset. This in the end enables an easy compilation of taxes

Easy auditing of the firm and easy preparation of financial statements, the money measurement

concept states that only transactions that can be expressed in terms of money are recorded in

accounting. Intangible services are not; for example:

 Skill level of employees

 Customer care level

 Administrative potential in the company

All the financial statements are required as discussed below;

The statement of financial position or the balance sheet states assets= capital plus liabilities. This

shows the financial position of the company-

Current assets are; expected to be realized in the entity's normal operating cycle, held for

trading, and expected to be realized in twelve months of cash equivalents plus cash while

liabilities are only the opposite and to be settled in twelve months.

The statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income establishes the financial

performance of the organization. This includes all sales less all expenses incurred henceforth

shows revenue, gains or losses, finance costs, tax expenses, gains on property revaluation among

others
FINANCIAL REPORT 7

Statement of cash flows that shows cash inflows and cash outflows inform of operations,

investment and financing. These are all in the reporting period.

The statement of changes in equity according to the IAS 1 is as follows:

Total comprehensive income showing noncontrolling interests, reconciliations like a bank.

The company can use FIFO- first in first out method which assumes that the first goods are the

first goods sold assuming all goods are sold or the company sells goods. This sort of method

minimizes writing off,

 Minimizes inflation costs

 Minimizes clarity errors

 Minimizes inconsistent prices

 They help in making taxation decisions to establish real assets of the company and net

losses or profits

 They help in union bargaining finding out whether labor is paid a convenient wage for

their work rendered.

 They help to make uniform investment decisions

 They help financial institutions in making credit decisions

 Establishing whether a firm is making profits or losses

 Enable payment of taxes

 Establish liquidity to find out whether a company has a working capital

 Establish the number of loans to get

 As a labor negotiator would use the income statement

 To advise the management on the way forward for the company


FINANCIAL REPORT 8

 Provide improvisions on weak internal controls

 Perform reconciliations for all the financial statements

 Monitor compliance

This concept states that financial statements are prepared on the assumption that a business will

remain in operation in future periods.

FY22: Outlook Continuing to target a return to monthly profitability in both corporate & leisure •

Timing uncertain & largely in government hands – relies on borders opening & staying open,
FINANCIAL REPORT 14

international travel resuming with fewer restrictions • Uncertainty means FLT is not currently

able to provide FY22 guidance. Breakeven requires circa 50% of traditional TTV in corporate,

circa 40% in leisure (based on current cost bases – will increase if FLT invests further in key

growth drivers). Longer term target of returning to 2019 TTV levels on monthly basis around

June 2024 Trading environment changing positively & rapidly. Larger scale international border

openings than initially expected (already moving beyond carefully selected two-way corridors or

bubbles). Further important reopening’s expected within next few weeks. International travel

resuming in NSW from November 1, two-way Trans-Atlantic travel from November 8 Potential

material benefit from recent re-openings. Large Australian leisure business very heavily

weighted towards international travel – more than 80% of pre-COVID TTV. US a key

destination for FLT's leisure and corporate customers globally - largest outbound market for our

UK and Canada businesses pre-COVID & 2nd largest outbound market for our Australian

business. 17 FY22: Outlook Expecting tangible returns on pandemic-period investments as the

world reopens. Now a leaner & more efficient organisation - well placed to benefit as the cycle

improves. Successfully executing key productivity strategies & achieving operational objectives

in both corporate & leisure. Assets protected - continued investment in key growth drivers,

including famous brands Post-COVID complexity plays to FLT's strengths. Customers will

require more assistance from our expert travel advisors as they navigate new requirements, seek

to understand restrictions that may still apply. Within this environment, our people’s knowledge

& our enhanced systems will prove invaluable at every step of the customer journey. Already

being seen in the corporate sector – customers calling for advice Business & geographic diversity

an ongoing strength. Has helped shield FLT from some of the challenges others have faced,

while also potentially fast-tracking recovery given earnings leverage to countries/regions that are

starting to exhibit strong recovery trajectories - about 55% of pre-COVID earnings from

Americas & EMEA. Main beneficiaries from pipeline of FY21 corporate account wins (circa

$US1.4billion) - 70% set to trade in these two regions. Significant potential upside in heavily

restricted markets like Australia & New Zealand that are particularly important to our leisure

division 18 Trading conditions improving – vaccination programs gaining momentum globally

FY22: Travel industry poised for rapid take-off 19 FY22: Trading update Global travel outlook

now considerably brighter.

Evidenced by Australia & USA announcements last week. Singapore also reopening

Positive early signs in Australia. Surge in enquiry + bookings growth. International leisure

bookings have now surpassed domestic bookings in Australia for 1st time since start of the

pandemic - almost tripled between July and September. Booking numbers this month have

already surpassed the September total with more than a third of the month still to come. UK,

USA & Fiji emerging as hotspots. Interest in these destinations has increased by multiples of 6,

11, and 20 respectively during the past month alone (based on web sessions). Already this

month, bookings to Fiji are in line with October 2019 (pre-COVID) in the Ignite business &

more than two-and-half times the September 2021 monthly total in FLT's Australian leisure

business 20 FY22: Increased AU store quotes & bookings. Recent reopening announcements in

Australia have already led to increased quotes & bookings across the Australian leisure store

network. Week on week growth in quoted TTV currently exceeds growth in booked TTV, as

expected at this early stage of recovery, and is a positive lead indicator 21 FY22: Shift in AU

store sales mix to International. In Australia, recent reopening announcements have prompted a

surge in international enquiry & bookings in our leisure stores, with international TTV booked so

far in October exceeding domestic TTV. International TTV booked in our Australian leisure

The following criterion can be used to make efficient decision making in bringing up a new

product;

The company emphasizes ease of implementation. In this way, the company looks at the

availability of models required to set up the new smartphone.

The also looks at the cost of setting up the new product. In this way, it looks at the prices of the

technology required to advance the product.

Ease of modification, scalability, and flexibility are also major pointers. These help to know

whether it is easy to modify the existing smartphone. (Smith, 2019)

The risk levels are also considered in setting up the smartphone. Here we are talking about the

issue of return on investment. A lot of money might be injected into bringing the new
