Examples are given on this section. The third part of the paper looks at cross sectional data, what it is an how it can be used, an example is given. The example given is then analysed and the potential problems with this analysis are discussed. The last part of the paper explores correlation coefficients. Looking at what they are and how they may be used, as well as the way in which they maybe misused or misinterpreted. Examples are given to illustrate points raised. The bibliography cites 7 sources.

impact can then be examined. The initial stages of planning a business require that all costs are assesses and income is projected
in order to assess if there is a potential profit that is sufficient to warrant the investment, as well as helping the level of working capital that will be required.
By looking at the way that the business can be projected and the figured analysed the first tool is likely to be that similar to management rather than financial accounting.
This is the income and expenditure assessment. Here we will make demonstrate this on a monthly after demonstrating a weekly and a monthly breakdown that are then used to make
the longer term projections. The business being proposed is a restaurant, the individual making the proposal is an experienced restaurant manager and
chef, and has good industry knowledge. The figures are taken from existing knowledge as well as extensive research in the area that the proposed restaurant will be located. The proposal
is for a fish and chip restaurant at a seaside location on the main seafront road, also providing a takeaway section. This is recognised as being a seasonal, and the
restaurant side is planned as closing down in the off peak season, with only the takeaway remaining open during the winter months when the tourists are not in the area
to boost demand. The first illustration is a sample weekly breakdown, as each day will be different. For illustration purposes we will use one week only where the restaurant is
