Financial Planning and Forecasting is the estimation of value of a variable or set of variables at some future point. A Financial forecasting exercise is usually carried out in order to provide an aid to decision – making and planning of any line of business for future developments. This paper focuses insurance segments and tailored all the key areas of attention are such as assets, liabilities, marketing, human resources, expenditures, digitalization and technology inclusion, etc., all in one term called as wealth maximization. Financial planning and forecasting represents a blueprint of what a firm proposes to do in the future. So, naturally planning over such horizon tends to be fairly in aggregative terms. We need to focus on common elements which include economic assumptions, target forecast, proforma statements, asset requirements and the mode of financing the investments and so on. A financial plan can also be an investment plan, which allocates savings to various assets or projects expected to produce future income, such as a new business or product line, shares in an existing business. Financial forecast and financial plan can also refer to an annual projection of income and expenses for a company, division or department. This can also be an estimation of cash needs and a decision on how to raise the funds, such as through borrowing or issuing additional shares in a company. Forecasting is also used by outsiders to value companies and their securities. This is the aggregative perspective of the whole firm, rather than looking at individual projects. Growth is a key theme behind financial forecasting, so growth should not be the underlying goal of corporation – creating shareholder value is enabled through corporate growth.

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of the business and analyze the opportunities and threats of Trigona Ongka farm in Laompo Village, Batauga District, South Buton Regency. The research was conducted from January to February 2020 in Laompo Village, Batauga District, South Buton Regency. The sample in this study was 1 (one) honeybee breeders (Trigona sp). The method used is the independent sample t-test and the R / C feasibility analysis. Business opportunities and threats are analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the business feasibility of Trigona sp honey bee livestock through the STUP and topping method was 1.5, (R/C > 1), meaning that each additional cost incurred resulted in a larger increase in revenue as much as IDR 1,400,000 for the STUP method and IDR 1,500,000 for the topping method instead of additional costs or simply profitable business activities. The honey bee livestock business opportunity of Trigona sp, namely honey as a favorite that is popular, relatively stable price, partially known production of the community, the location is easy to reach by vehicles, the availability of large land for business development. While the threat of Trigona sp honey bee livestock, namely: lack of environmental carrying capacity, so that environmental improvements and increasing the number of bee colonies are needed to increase honey production, do not have a product brand to be widely commercialized, product quality standardization is still poorly understood by breeders, there is no internal coordination between breeders to strengthen institutions and lack of access to assistance from capital institutions in terms of capital.  Keywords: Prospects, Business Feasibility, Honey Bees

In any crisis or uncertain situation, it is necessary to carefully decide about three main points: when, what to invest, and which financial sources will be used. A profit reinvestment would be an effective and safe way of circulating money flows in a company. The first wave of COVID-19 has changed business conditions not only in the Czech Republic, but also it has an influence on financial decisions of entrepreneurs on how to use financial resources in individual segments of the company. The main goal of this chapter is to compare the reinvestment behavior in the company before the crisis based on primary research data (at least 425 respondents). The chapter includes results of different preferences influenced by COVID-19 uncertainty, and factor analysis has shown that availability of internal resources was important to survive restrictions and to be able to continue in financial planning to sustainably develop the business. Unfortunately, the relationship between business experience and main motives to invest wasn't confirmed.

The en-masse bankruptcies of many corporations in high inflation countries in recent years is attributed partially to the pre-recession high-risk financial planning. This paper elaborates on the type of considerations which govern the financial decisions of local firms in an inflationary environment and shows that the real cost of borrowing, even index-linked or hard currency funds may be very low and even negative. This might happen due to common tax laws. This phenomenon lead many business firms to prefer debt over equity financing. The analysis indicates the kind of risk assessment which South African firms might have to conduct when they formulate their credit and financial policies in a high-inflation environment.

The paper discusses the question of the ability of the two-part transfer pricing system to stimulate investment centers to reject projects with positive NPV and to accept projects with negative NPV when there is no external market for intermediate products. The study revealed under which circumstances investment centers can take such dysfunctional decisions and it investigated if these systems can be modified to eliminate negative effects of such circumstances. In order to solve these problems, methods of financial analysis, real options theory and theory of constraints were used and several hypothetical business situations were modelled to exemplify possible dysfunctional behavior of investment centers when strategic decisions are taken in a decentralized manner. The paper considers the reasons for taking such decisions, such as using average rates of resource costs in calculating the transfer payment, presence of the real options in related projects complex and breaking the five focusing steps of the theory of constraints.

Inventory management is becoming very challenging for the retailer over the years due to the uncertainty in the demand and supply of products in financial risk and management systems. In a competitive market, running a business smoothly in a highly suitable place is day by day becoming tough due to the very high fare for those locations. Thus, limited storage is available in those elite places with high fares, and a retailer takes a financial risk by stocking huge amounts of products in those limited storage stores. Thus, the appropriate financial analysis is required to find out optimal strategies (financial decisions) to sustain a business organization of electronic products in a global competitive business environment. As a result, when bulk purchases of electronic products, for example, T.V., Fridges, Oven, etc., have been made by the retailer, he faces two problems. The first one is related to the limited storage; as a result, he has to pay a considerable amount to hold the products for a long time. The second one is shortages of liquid money as he invested massive amounts. To avoid these problems, he offers some price discounts on the market’s original selling price to sell the products quickly for a limited time prior to recovering his capital investment. For that reason, a price, time, and stock dependent realistic demand function have been considered in this proposed paper with two modes of discount policy. The proposed model has been solved by a classical optimization technique from calculus and provides some insights for the retailer. Some numerical examples and graphs are provided to illustrate the model.
