Question 
Ratio Analysis – Expense Forecasting
W8A5 Ratio Analysis
Your personal decisions regarding purchases are likely made, in no small part, based on your financial position. You will likely consult your bank statements and checkbook before buying. But the extent that you will go beyond current resources—including loans and financing—will depend on factors such as need for the good or service and potential it has for returning value. Similarly, leaders must juggle need, financial position, and potential for return when making expenditure decisions.
For this Assignment, you consider analysis tools such as expense forecasting, break-even, cost-benefit, marginal profit and loss and cost-effectiveness that can help determine the financial and organizational impact of proposed expenditures and investments.
