Description of the Project

The studio rental space, a haven for artists seeking a creative workspace, is

situated in the vibrant Jaro district of Iloilo City, the center of culture and dubbed as a city

within a city. The project primarily aims to meet the increasing demand for specialized

open-space that can serve the particular requirements of artists, especially dancers,

learners, and aspiring professionals, in pursuing their passions and contributing to the

vibrant cultural landscape of Iloilo City.The rental spaces in Iloilo City are for office

spaces, where the city covered 30% of the total provincial office deals back in 2021

(Colliers, 2021). While it indicates a reasonable supply of these spaces, they are

deemed generic in nature and are not applicable to certain demands. Investigating the

feasibility of this project, it looks into the present condition of the market, particularly the

availability and need for studio rentals. It assesses the proposed business' financial

sustainability by taking into consideration variables including projected income,

operational expenditures, and initial investment costs. Along with weighing the studio

rentals and how they foster creativity and comfort, it also assesses the probable impacts

on the local artistic scene. In addition, by offering flexible rental options and amenities

tailored to the specific needs of artists, the proposed studio rental space targets to

provide a conducive environment for creative expression and collaboration. The studio

will explore various business opportunities by offering places for workshop sites, events

and hosting dance classes. Beyond catering to professionals, the studio will also be a

1
great asset for students looking for a convenient and dedicated workspace. Therefore,

Chapter 2

Market Feasibility

This chapter presents the market feasibility of the proposed business Beyond

the Walls: Studio Rental Space at Jaro, Iloilo City. The following parts offer abstract

information regarding the studio industry description, competitiveness, market potential

as well as the categorized demand and sales analysis with the business’ corresponding

marketing strategies.

In this chapter the following market analysis and competitiveness were discussed

to give light on the proposed business’ market feasibility. (1) Industry Description, (2)

Industry Competitiveness, (3) Market Potential, (4) Demand and Sales Analysis, and (5)

Marketing Strategies.

Industry Description

Studio rentals are rooms that typically consist of a single, open-plan area. They

are often smaller and more affordable, making them popular among students, young

professionals, and individuals, offering a budget-friendly space option that caters to the

needs of a diverse range of individuals and serves as any space for how the customer

wants it to be.

9
1.1 Size, Scope and Nature of the Studio Rental

According to the 2020 census, Jaro has a population of 130,700 people, making

it the most populous district of Iloilo City. With the significant number of populations in

town, the number of studio spaces offered are sufficient to meet the demand of a

significant portion of the local population. Although it is not directly involved in providing

food or lodging services as traditional hotels or resorts, studio rentals still offer

accommodation options for individuals, making them a part of the broader hospitality

sector. The studio rental offers a space for workshops, dance practices, and events

room to the local market with high focus on students and young professionals who are in

need of space to practice their craft or to hold events.

1.2 Size, Scope and Nature of the Service

Studios are characterized by their small size; a compact and an affordable space

option. The studio rentals offer a variety of services, excellent training facilities, a clean

and comfortable environment, and workshops. The business aims to make a profit by

renting out studio spaces. And by providing outstanding customer services, the business

aims to attract and retain customers, students and young professionals in particular. The

studio will initially focus on the following services:

● Workshop Site

● Hosting Dance Class

● Events Place

10
1.3. Market Segments

The studio space rentals will be located in Jaro, Iloilo City, near the Jaro Church

and near the other establishments, like the Robinsons Jaro Mall, SaveMore, Banks, and

nearby schools and universities like St. Roberts International School College, Colegio de

San Jose, Central Philippine University and one ride from Iloilo National High School and

West Visayas State University. Also, according to the growing need for available spaces

to foster creativity, the studio will focus on two segments of customers:

· Segment 1 – students aging 15-22 years old

· Segment 2 – young professionals aging 23 years old and above

The studio space rentals target customers who are looking for a place that can

cater their needs towards achieving a specific outcome in their craft. The large student

population from nearby universities and colleges would be a primary target market

together with the young, working professionals seeking affordable and convenient places

that can hold professional events. Unexpectedly, middle-aged individuals who are active

in the health and fitness scene also represent a minor target market.

1.3.1 Life-cycle of the Industry

Studio rentals are generally affordable making them attractive to individuals with

limited budgets. The open-plan layout of studios maximizes space efficiency, allowing for

a more conducive experience. Studio rentals appeal to a wide range of individuals,

including students and young professionals.

11
Emerging

If people realize that studio rentals are good for creative activities and events, the

demand will rise. This could lead to higher rental prices, especially if there aren't many

more studios available. In order to generate income, the business can offer extra

services or amenities. But as the market gets bigger, new businesses might also start

offering studio rentals. To stay competitive, the existing studios will need to improve

offerings, lower the prices, or provide better customer service. The establishment of

studio rental spaces in Jaro, Iloilo City, appears to be a promising emerging market. This

business can capitalize on the growth potential by analyzing market dynamics and

addressing challenges.

Peak

When the number of available studio rentals exceeds the demand, the market

may be reaching its peak. If occupancy rates remain constant for a long period of time, it

could indicate that the market has reached a plateau. And if rental rates start to decline,

it may be a sign that the demand is weakening or that the competition is getting stronger.

As competition increases and demand stabilizes, profit margins may start to flatten or

decline. The management may need to strengthen their marketing efforts and offer more

competitive pricing to attract more customers, as retaining existing customers will be

crucial as new customer acquisition becomes more challenging. Thus, careful cost

management becomes essential to maintaining profitability in a competitive environment.

While growth may slow down, the business can still achieve profitability and

sustainability by adapting their strategies to the changing market conditions.

Mature

12
If the number of available studio rentals significantly exceeds the demand, if

there are consistent occupancy rates for a long time even during peak seasons, and if

rental prices are declining due to increased competition or decreased demand, it could

be a sign of a mature market. As competition intensifies and market growth slows, profit

margins may decline. Thus, management should implement marketing strategies, offer

additional products or services, or provide more competitive pricing to attract customers.

1.3.2 Future direction of the Proposed Business

By staying informed about market trends, adapting to changing circumstances,

and focusing on providing exceptional value to customers, studio rental businesses in

Jaro, Iloilo City can position themselves for long-term success.

Market Trends and Opportunities

As Jaro, Iloilo City continues to grow and develop, the demand for

affordable spaces is likely to increase. And with the proliferation of various online

platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly called twitter), the shaping of

the market will continue, and make it easier for potential customers to find the place and

book accommodations.

Future Direction for Studio Rental Businesses

Given the growing popularity of studio rentals especially among students and

young professionals, the future direction of the market in Jaro, Iloilo City appears

promising. The management needs to consider offering additional amenities and

services to differentiate the studio space rentals, such as garments and other equipment

for future projects, or community events such as seminars by partnering with the Local

13
Government Unit, and embrace technology to improve efficiency, enhance customer

experience, and attract a wider audience. Also, incorporate sustainable practices into the

operations to appeal to environmentally conscious customers and explore partnerships

with other businesses or organizations to create synergies and expand their reach.

1.4 Market Trends

In launching a new Studio Rental Space , effective promotion is one way to

attract customers and ensure a successful start. With the growing demand for studio

rental spaces in Jaro, Iloilo City, here are some of the market trends to consider:

Social Media Platforms. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok are the

frequently used applications in the Philippines. With its reach, online promotion will be a

lot easier. All these social media platforms will contain the business’ information such as

the location, services offered, and opening hours with regularly posted photos and

videos. They will also serve as means to communicate with the customers.

Video Tour. This allows customers, especially hours away from Jaro, Iloilo City

who wanted to inquire, an overview of the rental units, to give them an idea of the size

and capacity of the space. In doing this, the company should hire an expert in this field.

Word of Mouth. Iloilo City has knit and diverse dance community. By fostering

good connections and ethically showcasing care to the community, loyal and new

customers can be guaranteed. Collaborative opportunities will be high and a vast

network can be established.

14
Industry Competitiveness

Jaro, a vibrant district in Iloilo City, has witnessed significant growth in recent

years, making it an attractive location for various businesses, and this includes studio

rental spaces. This analysis will delve into the market dynamics, opportunities, and

potential challenges to support the proposed business venture.

Competitive Landscape. Although there are various open places to conduct

artistic activities, and with the existence of a traditional rental market in the city of Iloilo,

the availability of studio-specific, and enclosed open-spaces may be limited. And the

demand for private studio rentals may still be significant, especially among individuals

who prefer their own space. This presents an opportunity to cater to a niche market and

offer other products or services.

Economic Factors. Iloilo City's economy has been steadily growing, driven by

factors such as tourism, manufacturing, and services. This economic growth can lead to

increased demand for studio rentals. And with Jaro Iloilo City being the center district of

Iloilo City, this makes it a desirable and convenient location for students and

professionals seeking budget-friendly rental space options.

Potential Challenges. Understanding local property taxes and regulations is

crucial for operating a studio rental business. And over time, the demand for studio

rentals may fluctuate depending on factors such as the academic calendar and tourist

seasons. But while public places like the plaza offer a realistic and free option, it may not

provide the privacy and services that studio rentals offer. And with the growing student

15
population, rising number of professionals, and the increasing popularity of remote work

create a favorable environment for this type of business.

Table 2: Price Competitive of Beyond the Walls: A Feasibility Study on Studio Rental

Space in Fostering Creativity and Comfort at Jaro, Iloilo City.

Table 2 outlines a price competitiveness analysis for "Beyond the Walls,"

presenting a comparison with key competitors in the studio rental market within Iloilo City.

17
This analysis encompasses the location, year established, services offered, price per

rental, target market, and a comparative evaluation of each competitor's positioning

relative to Beyond the Walls Studio.

The first competitor, The Movement Space, situated West Timawa St., ICAG, Jaro

Iloilo, City operational since 2022, offers a variety of dance classes, and other fitness and

recreational space for rental. Prices range from ₱800 - ₱3,000, the price for rent is only

600 pesos for 1 hour for 3 pax. This studio targets dancers aged four and above, ranging

from beginners to advanced practitioners. Although it presents a lower cost per service

and specializes in dance classes, its limited space for non-dance-related events may

restrict its market reach. In contrast, Beyond the Walls Studio can offer a broader range

of services, making it more attractive to a diverse clientele and it offers as low as 500

pesos for 1 hour that can accommodate 15 pax.

Finally, PCD School of Performing Arts, founded on April 5, 2012, situated at

VALIANT Bldg., Mabini St. Brgy. Liberation, Iloilo City, Philippines. The studio specializes

in open rental space, offering primary to intermediate ballet, contemporary, and street

dance classes.he rental space is priced at ₱300 per hour without air conditioning and

₱400 per hour with air conditioning. The primary target market includes dance and as well

as fitness groups. With its low rental rates, PCD School of Performing Arts can attract

budget-conscious clients, which may pose a competitive challenge to Beyond the Walls

Studio in the realm of affordability for class rentals. While it provides lower pricing, its focus

on niche markets may limit its flexibility in service offerings compared to the versatile

options available at Beyond the Walls Studio.

Table 3: SWOT Analysis of Beyond the Walls: A Feasibility Study on Studio

Rental Space in Fostering Creativity and Comfort at Jaro, Iloilo City.

Strengths

The first internal factor is represented by the strengths of the company. The

studio rental spaces will have a strategic location being placed beside the Jaro Church

and near the establishments and educational institutions where there is a high density of

people flocking, especially young ones. Because Jaro is popular for budget-conscious

renters in Iloilo City, its affordability, coupled with its proximity to the city center, makes it

19
an attractive choice for those looking for a cheaper area. Next is the growing demand.

With a thriving educational landscape, Iloilo attracts a large number of students from

both within and outside the city. Studio rentals offer a convenient and affordable space

option for these students, providing them with a private space to do academic activities.

And as Iloilo City continues to develop economically, it's drawing more professionals to

the area, making these studio rentals a great workplace. Low Maintenance. Since studio

rentals are small spaces, they require less maintenance and cleaning compared to

larger units, reducing overhead costs for renters. And lastly, the strength is flexibility. As

discussed in Chapter 1, business activities and studio rentals offer a high degree of

flexibility that can be a significant advantage for many customers.

Weaknesses

Economic downturns can impact the rental market, leading to increased

competition and lower rental rates. Although there is not much established business in

town, studio rentals often compete with public places where it is free. Another thing is

that the demand for studio rentals may fluctuate depending on factors, particularly the

academic calendar, where students have a summer break of two months. A decline in

demand for studio rentals in areas near educational institutions as students return home

or travel will be felt. With limited finance, it can be a challenge for individuals or

customers who are seeking studio rentals alone, as studio rentals in desirable locations

can be expensive, making it difficult for individuals with limited financial resources to

afford them. And lastly, the weaknesses are the few permanent customers. A limited

number of permanent customers can be a significant weakness for studio rental

businesses. This can lead to high vacancy rates that can reduce rental income and

increase operating costs, the need to continuously attract new customers that can

20
increase marketing expenses, and relying on an increase of new customers that can

make income less predictable and more vulnerable to market fluctuations.

Opportunities

First on the opportunities is the niche market. By identifying and targeting specific

niche markets, studio rental spaces can differentiate themselves from competitors in

order to attract a customer and achieve sustainable growth. Another one is value-added

services. By offering other value-added services, studio rental spaces can enhance the

overall customer experience, gain a wider range of customers, and increase their

satisfaction and loyalty. And lastly, the technology integration. Utilizing technology to

streamline operations, such as online booking and property management software, can

improve the efficiency of the business. By embracing technology, studio rental

businesses can enhance their operations, improve their customer satisfaction, and stay

competitive in the fast, evolving market.

Threats

As this business primarily targets students and young professionals, a decline in

the local economy or a decrease in employment rates could lead to a decrease in

demand for studio rentals. Apparently, if there are regulatory changes, such as changes

in laws or property taxes, this will greatly affect the profitability of the business. Another

threat to the studio rental spaces is the natural disasters. Natural disasters, such as

typhoons, can pose risks to the property and can potentially disrupt rental income. Next

for the threat are the new and current competitors. With the studio rental market being

highly competitive, with new competitors constantly emerging, these competitors can

pose a significant threat to the established businesses.

21
2.4 Factors Affecting the Proposed Business (PEST Analysis)

PEST analysis is a strategic planning tool used to identify external factors that

can affect a business. PEST stands for political-legal, economic, socio-cultural, and

technological factors. This part of the bachelor thesis will deal with the current market

situation, which may directly or indirectly affect the establishment of a studio rental

space.

Political-legal factors

The most important legislative factors in the context of a business plan include

regulations that affect business in general and the operation of the studio rental spaces.

Furthermore, the growth of the minimum wage and decrease of the inflation rate can be

considered as a tool for further development, as people who earn more spend more. The

Philippines has generally maintained political stability in recent years, which can be

conducive to business growth. National policies related to taxation, labor, and economic

development can have a significant impact on businesses. On the other hand, the tax on

rental income in the Philippines, including Jaro, Iloilo City, is generally based on the

income tax rates outlined by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). These rates are

progressive, meaning that the higher your income, the higher the tax rate. The local

government in Iloilo City plays a crucial role in shaping the business environment

through policies, regulations, and infrastructure development. Understanding and

addressing local issues, such as traffic congestion or infrastructure limitations, can be

important for businesses operating in the area. The political environment in Jaro, Iloilo

City, is generally conducive to business activity. However, the business should stay

22
informed about political developments at both the national and local levels and be

prepared to adjust their marketing strategies.

Economic Factors

This factor plays a significant role in shaping the demand and pricing of studio

rental spaces in Jaro, Iloilo City. A growing local job market, particularly in sectors such

as IT, BPO, and manufacturing, can increase demand for studio rentals, especially

among young professionals. And with the high unemployment rate in town, it can lead to

decreased demand for studio rentals as potential customers may struggle to afford the

rent. Investments in infrastructure, such as transportation and utilities, can make Jaro,

Iloilo City, more attractive to customers. But with the increasing demand for studio

spaces and redevelopment projects in town, this can lead to increased property values

and higher rental rates for studio rentals. Another economic factor to consider is the

rising inflation, which can increase the cost of living, including rental prices, putting

pressure on customer's budgets.

Socio-economic Factors

Jaro, Iloilo City, is surrounded by university students and young professionals.

This factor plays a significant role in shaping the demand for and characteristics of

studio rental spaces in the vibrant town of Jaro. The location of studio rental spaces is

just right beside the Jaro Church, where there are schools in the area, making it quick for

people to be aware of the business. Moreover, Robinsons Jaro Mall, Banks, SaveMore,

numerous food stalls, and the St. Roberts International School College are in short

proximity. With the growing number of young professionals in Iloilo City, this can

increase the demand for a modern, convenient studio rental space for professional use.

23
The relatively affordable cost of living in Jaro can make studio rentals a more accessible

option for many people.

Technological Factors

With the rapid emergence of technology in this modern world, it has become a

standard within the industry. As a result of this, the customers can enjoy and may also

extend their stay in the studio. Therefore, the studio space shall include new

technologies, which can be a modernization and improvement of equipment such as

speakers and microphones. Moreover, it is essential for the studio to have a Wi-Fi

connection so that the customers can surf the internet or take a photo or video from their

stay in the studio and post it on social media platforms, which can also help promote the

business. Given that the location of the studio space is just beside the Jaro church with

the national highway in front of it, it makes transportation easy and accessible for

everyone. This in turn also acts as a competitive advantage.

2.5 Competitive Efficiency Plan

Businesses must constantly adapt and evolve to stay competitive, and for

Beyond the Walls Studio, it will continue to provide exceptional services and deliver an

outstanding customer experience. Here outlines the following action plan key strategies

to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the proposed business.

Table 5 provides a comprehensive overview of the average assumptions that

drive the demand and sales projections for the proposed studio rental business in Jaro,

Iloilo City. The table breaks down various factors affecting the demand for its annual

34
service. The space-only service is assessed based on the maximum capacity, price per

rent (air conditioning), expected number of hours per day, number of divisions on spaces

used, expected demand per week, expected monthly demand (rental), projected annual

rentals, projected annual revenue, estimated growth rates, and assumptions. The

expected annual rental is presented through the number of divisions the spaces can be

used per day. When classified according to the capacity of 15 persons with the rental

price of 300 pesos, it can occupy 3 spaces simultaneously with the expected 4 hours

duration of their rent. This is in line with the expected demand of 4 times a week and

generating a monthly demand of 96 occupancies. Therefore, projecting an annual rental

of 1,152 times with a projected revenue of 691,200 pesos. But, when classified

according to the capacity of 25 persons with the rental price of 500 pesos, it can occupy

2 spaces simultaneously with the expected 2 hours duration of their rent for half the day.

With this, the expected demand of 5 times a week generated a monthly demand of 40

occupancies. Therefore, projecting an annual rental of 480 times with a projected

revenue of 480,000 pesos. And when classified according to the capacity of 50 persons

with the rental price of 1,000 pesos, only 1 space can be occupied with an expected 4-

hour duration of their rent for the day. The expected demand of 3 times a week

generated a monthly demand of 192 occupancies in a year with a projected revenue of

576,000 pesos. Thus, all in all accumulated a projected revenue of 1,747,000 pesos,

indicating the growth of the business.

Table 6 details the assumption based on the expected factors influencing the

demand and sales projection for Dance Class Hosting only. It is assessed through

maximum capacity, price per participant, calculated number of hours per session,

expected demand per week, expected monthly demand, projected annual sessions,

projected annual revenue, assumption, and the total projected revenue for the three

projected classes. For assumptions sake the median of the maximum capacity is taken

as the projected number of participants. Based on research, a beginners streetstyle

class takes an allotted time of 2 hours per session and is expected to be in demand 3

times per week. With that the expected monthly demand is 12. The projected annual

rental is 144 based from the product of the expected demand per week (3) to the

number of weeks in a month and then multiplied by the months in a year which results to

144. This will yield a projected annual revenue of ₱900,000. Hosting House dance

36
classes are expected to be in demand 2 times per week, resulting in an expected

monthly demand of 8 sessions. This leads to a projection of 96 annual sessions and

having ₱600,000 in projected annual revenue. Lastly, Zumba sessions will have a

calculated price per participant of ₱200 for an hour session. The expected demand is 2

sessions per week, leading to the expected monthly demand of 8 sessions. This results

in a projected annual demand of 96 sessions and the projected revenue of Zumba

session a total of ₱480,000

Place Only. The Event Space Rentals are charged at a fixed rate of ₱1,000 per hour

regardless of the amount of people as long as they are within 50 pax. The expected

number of hours the event would last is 4 hours and only expected to occur once per

week.This results in an expected monthly demand of 4 rentals and an annual demand of

38
48 rentals. As a result the projected annual revenue for Event space rentals amounts to

192,000. Additional services are catered to address expected equipment needs for event

rentals. Renting of speaker and microphones, projectors, and chairs and table are

included in the demand sales projections to fit the functionality of an events place. For

rental of speakers and microphones, the rental fee remains fixed at ₱500 per event. For

the projector, the rental fee is 200, and for the chairs and tables, the rental fee is 3,000.

These fees apply regardless of the specific number of participants as long as they don’t

exceed 50. The expected weekly demand is 1 rental per week, resulting in an expected

monthly demand of 4 rentals and an annual projection of 48 sessions. The projected

annual revenue from speakers and microphones rentals is ₱24,000, from projector

rentals is ₱9,600, and from chair and table rentals is ₱144,000. The total projected

annual revenue for additional services amounts to ₱369,600

The price per rental for each business activity reflects the cost customers are

willing to pay for using the space, varying according to the nature of the service

provided. Higher-priced services, such as event space rentals, are targeted at specific

clients requiring larger and more exclusive venues, while lower-priced services, such as

hosting dance classes, cater to regular and community-based clients. The projected

annual rentals are derived by multiplying the expected monthly demand by twelve

months, giving an estimate of how frequently each space will be rented within a year.

Finally, this is calculated by multiplying the projected annual rentals by the price per

rental. This figure indicates the potential revenue generated from each business activity.

Table 8 provides an estimate of the potential demand for each of the studio’s core

business activities, including workshop site rentals, dance classes, and events venue. The

demand is calculated monthly and annually based on different target markets and

capacities of each service. The Workshop Spaces are further divided into three categories

based on the number of participants it can accommodate, ranging from 15 to 50 people,

reflecting the varying sizes of workshops and events that the space will cater to. For

instance, the 15-pax Workshop Spaces are projected to be in high demand with 96

monthly rentals, while larger spaces accommodating up to 50 people are expected to be

rented less frequently, with only one monthly rentals. The Dance Class Hosting service,

which can accommodate up to 25 participants, is estimated to have 8-12 sessions per

month, reflecting its popularity among the local dance community. The Events Place

services are also expected to have a lower demand, with four monthly rentals,

respectively. This estimation is based on market research, target audience behavior, and

pricing strategies. The data presented highlights the potential number of customs.

The proposed production process highlights three key factors: the acquisition of

studio space, hiring of the Interior Designer and Contractor, and the renovation

implementation. The acquisition will be done in the first month of the year 2025 and is

estimated to have a one month negotiation process and contract signing. The Interior

Designer is required to, but not limited to: Initial design consultation, layouting and space

planning, selection of materials, finishes, and furnishings, concept development, design

revisions and oversight during implementation. The Contractor is required to, but not

limited to: Project planning and coordination, structural modifications, hiring of

subcontractors, ensuring timeline, quality control, and oversight during implementation.

The proposed renovation duration is six months after having a conference with the

Interior Designer and Contractor.

The renovation process which will start in March and is assumed to end in

August of the year 2025 will start with the compliance of local regulation permits.

Building Permit, Electrical Permit, Plumbing Permit, Mechanical Permit, Fire Safety

Evaluation Clearance, Zoning Clearance, Environmental Compliance Certificate,

Barangay Clearance, and Signage Permit are needed and will be complied along with

44
the initial plan on the first month of renovation. The Foundation, Walls, Plumbing, and

Electricity are the core components that needed to be done foremost. Once the core

components are done renovations on the Beams, Roof, and Floors are followed through.

To give the space the aesthetic and functional feeling Furnishings should be thoroughly.

Placing wall textures, painting, flooring, lighting, mirrors, doors, and windows should be

in accordance with the design layout to achieve optimal outcome. Touch-ups and design

placements will be done in the month of July to obtain practical, sustainable, and

creative goals for the studio rental. Lastly, in the month of August Safety standards

would be checked alongside Quality Inspection if the renovation reached not only

practicality and functional purposes but also aesthetically pleasing and aligns with the

studio’s vision.

personnels. Finally, a quality and safety inspection of the space will ensure that the

project meets the required standards before completion. This structured approach

emphasizes efficiency, continuous monitoring, and quality assurance to achieve desired

outcome.

Location and Facility Needs

2.1 Proposed Location of the Business

a. Accessibility

The proposed business, "Beyond the Walls: A Studio Rental Service," will be

situated in Jaro, Iloilo City. This location is justified based on its strategic advantages in

terms of market access, raw material availability, transportation networks, labor supply,

and production inputs.

Market Access. Jaro, Iloilo City, is a vibrant district with a growing population of

students, artists, performers, and event organizers. The proximity to educational

institutions, art communities, and cultural hubs provides a steady demand for studio

rental services. This diverse target market ensures that the studio will cater to various

customer segments, including dance classes, workshops, events, and exhibitions.

46
Raw Materials. While the studio rental business does not rely heavily on

traditional raw materials, it requires high-quality furniture, sound systems, lighting

equipment, and decor items to cater to different events. These materials are easily

sourced from local suppliers within Iloilo City, ensuring both availability and competitive

pricing.

Transportation. Jaro is well-connected by major roads and public transportation

networks, allowing easy access for customers and suppliers. The availability of public

transport systems like jeepneys and taxis also ensures convenience for clients traveling

to and from the studio.

Labor. The area provides access to a skilled labor pool, including instructors,

event coordinators, technical staff for sound and lighting, and maintenance personnel.

The presence of universities and training centers in Iloilo ensures the availability of part-

time and full-time workers, especially those with expertise in the creative and cultural

sectors.

Production Inputs. Key production inputs, such as audio-visual equipment and

maintenance 17, are readily available from local distributors. The strategic location within

the city ensures cost efficiency in acquiring these inputs.

b. Environmental Impact and Regulatory Requirements

The proposed business aims to operate in an environmentally conscious manner

by using energy-efficient equipment and sustainable materials in the studio design.

Additionally, a fire exit will be installed to ensure the safety of occupants during

emergencies, in compliance with local fire safety regulations. The business will also set

up three waste bins designated for biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and recyclable

47
waste to promote proper waste segregation and support environmental sustainability.

Furthermore, the business plans to install energy-efficient lighting and appliances to

reduce electricity consumption, contributing to a lower carbon footprint. Lastly, noise

control measures, such as soundproofing, will be employed not only to enhance the

studio's functionality but also to minimize any disturbance to nearby residents and

businesses. Given its minimal environmental footprint, the business is not expected to

generate significant waste or pollution. Moreover, to legally operate a studio rental

business in Jaro, Iloilo City, several regulatory requirements must be fulfilled to ensure

legal operation and community safety. The Unified Application Form serves as a

comprehensive document that consolidates various local permit applications, facilitating

efficient processing and adherence to local regulations. A Barangay Clearance is

necessary to confirm that the business is authorized to operate within the barangay,

ensuring compliance with local governance and community standards. A Fire Safety

Inspection Certificate from the Bureau of Fire Protection is crucial to ensure that the

premises meet fire safety standards, thereby protecting the business, its employees, and

the surrounding community from fire hazards. Registration with the Securities and

Exchange Commission (SEC) are required based on the business structure, ensuring

that the business operates under the legal framework applicable to its entity type.

c. Views and Opinions of the Community

Initial community feedback, derived from a survey with 100 respondents,

including artists, students, and event organizers, suggests a predominantly positive

reception toward the establishment of a creative space in Jaro. The majority of

respondents expressed enthusiasm regarding the proposed business with a positive

93.9% feedback perceiving it as a valuable addition to the community that would provide

48
accessible and affordable venues for practice, workshops, and exhibitions. Many

participants articulated a clear need for such a space to support their creative endeavors

and enhance collaborative opportunities among local talents. Furthermore, the feedback

underscores that the studio aligns with the cultural and artistic inclinations of the artistic

community here in Iloilo.

A one-on-one interview was conducted with esteemed choreographers in Iloilo

City. The questions posed to them were as follows: “How do you feel about Beyond the

Walls: A Feasibility Study on Studio Rental Space at Jaro, Iloilo City. As the project

primarily aims to meet the demand of a big enough space for artists especially dancers”

and “if implemented what do you think is the effect of having this business?” These

questions were created to gather deep insights on professional choreographers

regarding the potential benefits and implications of establishing a studio rental space. Sir

David Jaleco answered positively on both questions. He further emphasized the lack of

facilities Iloilo City has, with regards to big studio rentals. “This provides more

opportunities for bigger groups to rehearse which can provide them with enough mirrors

and speakers, and a space that is safe to be in”. Iloilo is a relatively safe city but

unknown factors that may arise from public spaces should not be taken lightly. He

finished the interview by supporting the cause and hopes to see it to be implemented in

Iloilo City soon.

Annabelle Javil, a student, dancer, and choreographer, believes that having

access to spacious studios, particularly for dance, is both a privilege and an opportunity.

These studios provide dancers with a space free of restrictions. Where the

choreographers can further enhance their creative artistry, giving the dancers a level up

when performing on stage. Ms. Javil’s insights on the impact of having the studio rental

space is divided. She observed that the space will either have a lot of customers which

49
can lead to overbooking or a few customers which lead to fewer sales. She noted that in

the dance community, peak demand typically occurs during holiday seasons, summer,

and school competition periods, such as the Private Schools Athletic Association

(PRISAA) and the Regional Association of State Universities and Colleges (RASUC).

Lastly, Jhun Mark Hasan-gas, also, a choreographer of a big dance group in

Iloilo felt very emotional and overjoyed at the same time, as this study,to him, implies

that the students reflected on the good impact this opportunity would give Iloilo. He

further stated that the Iloilo dance community gains more recognition, even attracting

international acclaim to the Philippines, with spaces like this and a demand for

workshops, Iloilo will surely be a place they'll want to visit. He reinforced his optimistic

viewpoint in response to the second question and concluded the interview by saying, “If

implemented, I will be very happy and proud.”

Creativity and Comfort at Jaro, Iloilo City, and their prices.

Suitability of Production Technology

3.1 Providers and Suppliers

In every business operation, it is important to secure and have a good choice of

suppliers for equipment, furniture, fixtures and other raw materials to ensure the

company’s profitability, efficiency and overall success. The globalized market, centered

around a wide range of options to consider when it comes to materials for the business.

This includes local suppliers, national retailers and online marketplaces.

Local Suppliers, such as Imperial Appliance Plaza in Delgado Iloilo already

have a deep-rooted connection with the local community and offer quality products at

low prices. One of the primary advantages of local suppliers is their ability to provide

quick turnaround times and flexible payment terms. They offer a personalized approach

to customer service and source materials to the region's needs. Local Suppliers for glass

material and other maintenance materials are DEJ Glass in Tigbauan, Iloilo, and Iloilo

Supermart. Additionally, HIKVision CCTV Iloilo City and stores in YMCA Iloilo are for

equipment and other technologies and for interiors, Korean Blinds Iloilo. Also, by

supporting the local businesses it contributed to the economic vitality of the community.

This kind of supplier ensures long-term quality hardware than other appliances stores

that have high rates prices like Handyman Hardware.

National Retailers are those large-scale businesses that operate across the

country. Hardware stores, such as Citi Hardware in Oton, Iloilo and Dezine Depot at

Tanza St. Jaro, Iloilo City, Abenson Ayala Capitol in Bacolod, TGP Pharmacy and

56
Mercury Drug Store have established supply chains and distribution networks, which

ensures reliable delivery and high-end quality. They provide benefits like loyalty

programs and extended warranties. These types of suppliers have established

relationships with manufacturers and provide competitive prices compared to local

suppliers.

Online Marketplaces, such as e-commerce platforms offer a globe reach and

access to a wide variety of products at competitive prices.Materials for interiors are

sourced through Shopee and Lazada while equipment such as speakers, amplifiers and

others are sourced at Audiophile, 1200 Pres. Quirino Ave. Ext. Paco, Manila and JB

Music at Emerald Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City Metro Manila. It is more

convenient and time-saving. They also offer rating features and reviews which can help

businesses evaluate the reputation of different suppliers. Thus, a vast selection of

products and services are ensured with quality turnout.

Additionally, the researchers chose to contact exclusive distributors and

providers (Lilibeth Tavarro) for personalized fixtures and furniture that is needed in the

interior and exterior of the studio space. Local suppliers can therefore provide

individualized service and assistance, while national shops offer a large selection of

high-quality goods and services. Because online marketplaces offer a wide range of

options and conveniences, local suppliers can provide individualized service and

support, while national businesses offer a wide assortment of high-quality goods and

services. Online marketplaces' ease of use and wide range of options. Evaluating

various factors, the researchers selected suppliers that catered to the specific needs of

the business to contribute to its overall success.

57
3.2 Competitiveness of Technology and Equipment

The competitiveness of technology and equipment is a crucial factor in the

successful operation of the business. There is a diverse range of technology and

equipment available locally in the city, each with its own strengths a 20% and

weaknesses depending specifically on the brands. Equipment such as air conditioners is

highly competitive and consumes the greatest electricity at 46%, according to SolarNRG

Philippines. They are available in various brands and at different price points. Its

competitive advantage is centered around its cooling capacity and energy efficiency.

Inverter technology, on the other hand, improved the energy efficiency of air

conditioners. CCTV systems, fire safety equipment, and generators are all

advancements in technology driving innovation. The increasing demand for security

solutions has caused the surge of CCTV systems in various settings, especially in

commercial buildings . Fire safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and smoke

detectors is a mandatory requirement in many buildings and primarily in compliance with

the safety standards. Generators are essential for backup power in case of power

outages. Its competitiveness is influenced by fuel efficiency and portability, where diesel

generators are preferred for their reliability. Aside from ACs, industrial fans are also used

in various settings, including warehouses and restaurants, for factors such as airflow

capacity and durability that influence their competitiveness.

Moreover, floor polishers, vacuums, exhaust fans, and thermostats are highly

competitive due to their advancement, wherein they focus on durability and lead to more

powerful and efficient cleaning equipment, while airflow capacity is brought by exhaust

fans, and thermostats are popular smart home technology that can be connected to

other devices. Speakers, amplifiers, microphones, projectors, projector screens, and Wi-

Fi routers influenced sound quality and performance for achieving quality service inside

58
the studio. Also, humidifiers, water dispensers, and blinds. These products are less

competitive, with a smaller market size. However, factors such as quality, durability, and

aesthetics can influence their popularity. All things considered with the advancement of

the 21st century, the competitiveness of technology and equipment is due to factors

such as technological innovation, regulatory requirements, consumer preferences, and

economic conditions. The market being highly competitive, it is imperative to understand

the influence of these factors on business operations, therefore evaluate the

organization's decision-making in choosing technologies and equipment.

3.3 Limitations or Constraints of Technology and Equipment

The studio space rental business is reliant on advanced facilities and equipment

to function efficiently and safely. The essential components range from material to

sophisticated products, each playing an important role in the smooth operation of the

business. However, despite their substance, they are inclined with limitations and

constraints that may hinder the consistent production process. Identifying the limitations

and constraints of the following equipments and technologies namely: air conditioning,

CCTV, emergency lighting, fire safety equipment, generators, industrial fans, floor

polishers, vacuums, lights, speakers, exhaust systems, thermostats, humidifiers, water

dispensers, mini fridges, blinds, art display panels, amplifiers, microphones, projectors

and projector screens, Wi-Fi routers, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors.

Air conditioning, while essential for comfort and productivity in the studio

environment, can be energy-intensive and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

Additionally improper maintenance or installation can lead to health problems due to

growth of mold and bacteria. Constraints include budget constraints, and local climate

conditions. CCTV Systems is limited in image quality in low-light conditions and potential

59
for data breaches, its constraints include the cost of installation and maintenance and its

privacy concerns. Emergency Lightingis limited in battery light and potential for

malfunctions. Constraints include regulatory requirements and maintenance costs. Fire

safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, requires regular

inspection and maintenance to ensure effectiveness. Constraints include its regulatory

compliance as well as budget. Generators, while providing backup power, can be noisy,

require regular maintenance, and may not be able to handle all power needs.

Moreover, industrial fans, floor polishers, vacuums and other cleaning equipment

can be noisy and contribute to air pollution, energy consumption, and potential damage

to floors if not not used properly. Constraints include budget constraints, maintenance

requirements, and other regulatory considerations. Lights, speakers, and exhaust

systems can also be sources of noise and pollution, and their improper use can lead to

energy waste and discomfort. Thermostats and humidifiers, while essential for

maintaining comfortable indoor environments, can be sensitive and require frequent

adjustments. Water dispensers and mini fridges, while convenient, can be energy-

consuming and require regular cleaning and maintenance. Blinds, art display panels,

amplifiers, microphones, projectors, and projector screens can be damaged or

deteriorate over time, requiring replacement or repair. Wi-Fi routers can experience

interference and signal loss, affecting connectivity and performance. Fire extinguishers

and smoke detectors, if not used or maintained properly, may not be effective in

preventing or mitigating fires.

These essential facilities and equipment are indispensable in modern society,

they are not without their limitations and constraints. These limitations can range from

energy consumption and environmental impact to maintenance requirements and

performance issues. Understanding these limitations is crucial for effective planning,

60
maintenance, and use of these facilities and equipment. By addressing these

constraints, we can maximize the benefits of these essential components and ensure

their continued reliability and safety.

reflect modern trends in studio design and functionality, emphasizing both aesthetic

appeal and practicality. Currently, there is a notable shift towards energy-efficient and

environmentally sustainable materials in construction and furnishing, such as LED

lighting, aluminized insulation, and soundproof panels, which have become more readily

available due to increasing demand for eco-friendly building solutions. This trend is likely

62
to continue as environmental awareness grows and stricter regulations are implemented

globally.

In terms of equipment, there is also a rising preference for technologically

advanced systems, such as smart air-conditioning units with thermostats, Wi-Fi-enabled

CCTV cameras, and energy-efficient backup power generators. These innovations

provide greater convenience and efficiency, making them highly sought after in modern

business settings. Additionally, soundproofing materials and acoustical design are

gaining importance, especially in the context of creative spaces like studios, to ensure

optimal sound quality and noise management. As for furniture, multifunctional and

space-saving items, such as folding detachable tables, as well as minimalist design

elements, are increasingly popular, driven by the need for flexibility and adaptability in

shared spaces. The trend towards using sustainable and durable materials for flooring,

wall treatments, and other furnishings is also expected to persist, with an emphasis on

long-term utility and lower environmental impact.

In terms of future availability, most of these materials and equipment are

expected to remain accessible due to advancements in manufacturing technology and

increased market competition. However, global supply chain disruptions and fluctuations

in material costs may occasionally affect availability and pricing.

Organizational Feasibility

This chapter presents the organizational feasibility of the proposed business

Beyond the Walls: Studio Rental Space at Jaro, Iloilo City. The following parts present

the various persons needed for the operation of the business. In this chapter the

following organizational analysis was discussed to give light on the proposed business

organizational feasibility . (1) Business Structure (2) Organizational Structure, and (3)

Business Policies

Business Structure

1.1 Business Form

One of the forms for the proposed business structure is the Limited Partnership.

This type of business is owned by two or more partners. This type of business structure

provides various advantages to the partners: First, the limited liability. Limited partners

are only liable for the amount of money they invest in the business. Thus, they cannot be

sued as individuals, unless they make something that makes them legally liable. And

second, the flexibility in management. The general partner has significant control over

the business's operations. On the other hand, limited partners can be passive investors.

This structure can be beneficial for businesses that need both active management and

capital investment. This allows the general partner to choose whether the business will

64
be member-managed business or a manager-managed-business, depending on their

needs and preferences.

Thus, in establishing a studio rental space that fosters creativity and provides a

comfortable working environment, the Beyond the Walls is classified as a Limited

Partnership.

1.2 Manpower

Meeting the potential clients’ needs are crucial in establishing businesses. And

discussing the availability of manpower gives them an overview of how their

expectations and needs can be met. To online operations, a dedicated social media

team will handle online inquiries regarding availability, pricing, and services of the studio.

For walk-in customers, a front desk employee will be there, ready and available to assist

the customers. Maintenance crews will ensure that the studio will remain clean, and

even provide support as needed. Electrical engineers will maintain equipment

functionality. And security guards will oversee safety. All staff will have direct lines of

communication with supervisors to address customer concerns promptly and efficiently.

And to maintain this manpower, Beyond The Walls will foster strong relationships with

staff, offer competitive rates and flexible work arrangements, and invest in training

programs to attract and retain customers.

1.3 Governance, Lines of Authority and Decision Making Structure

With regards to the bookings, beyond the walls will utilize booking and scheduling

through various online platforms to minimize scheduling conflict and will send an

automated response confirming the booking. And in case of reservations, a mandatory

65
full payment for the rent is required, to avoid no-shows and last-minute cancellation.

With regards to security, the beyond the walls will install surveillance cameras to monitor

activities in the studio. There will be a list of dos and don’ts regarding the use of the

studio pasted on the wall outside together with their penalties, and the surveillance will

help determine unpleasant use of the studio. And to help maintain the cleanliness of the

studio, the CLAYGO policy will be implemented, except on business activities where the

studio is rented out for events.

Having clear lines of authority ensures smooth operations for businesses of all types.

In Beyond The Walls, the ones who have the utmost authority are the business owners.

They are the most responsible for various tasks. The CEO serves as the highest-ranking

executive within the partnership. Its primary responsibility is to provide overall strategic

direction and leadership. In cases of the day-to-day operations, client relations, and staff

management, the authority lies within the CEO. Next, in cases of the day-to-day

management of the partnership's operations, the authority lies in the Head of the

Operations and Administration. Then, in case of the responsibility in promoting the

partnership's products or services and building brand awareness, the authority lies within

the Head of Marketing. And lastly, in managing the partnership's financial affairs, the

authority lies within the Head of Accounting & Finance.

A decision-making structure defines the process and roles for making organizational

decisions, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness, especially in complex situations. The

core team, such as the CEO, the operations manager, marketing manager, and the

finance manager are needed in the decision-making. There will be meetings to discuss

ideas, challenges, and opportunities with an open and honest communication. During

the meeting, there will be brainstorming sessions to generate creative ideas for the

66
improvement of the studio. The core team will foster a culture of innovation and

experimentation and implement feedback forms and surveys to gather input from clients

and staff. They will also analyze the feedback to identify areas for improvement. In the

process of making the decision inside Beyond The Walls, the marketing manager will

see how to market the new improvement for the studio while the operations manager will

ensure that the entire operation will be smooth. The finance manager will oversee and

approve the budget, and the final decision will lie in the hands of the CEO, whether or

not improvements will be approved or not.

Interpretation

Following financial ratios, after an initial investment of $4,000,000, Beyond the

Walls Studio has demonstrated strong financial performance over the course of five

years. We may learn a lot about the studio's profitability and future growth trajectory by

examining the yearly Return on Investment (ROI) numbers. Year 1 (3.74% ROI): This

represents a solid return on investment, despite the initial ROI being modest. This might

be explained by the setup stage, when revenue generation and foundational costs were

still being developed. Year 2 (29.58% ROI): A notable increase in ROI is indicative of a

notable rise in profitability. This might be the result of things like successful project

executions, expanded clientele, or optimized operations. Year 3 (32.67% ROI): The

90
studio maintained its excellent financial performance, building on the achievements of

the previous year. This steady expansion points to a proven company plan and

successful tactics. Year 4 (35.92% ROI): The studio's capacity to sustain and grow its

profitability is demonstrated by this additional ROI growth. Strategic efforts like

broadening market reach or diversifying revenue sources may be to blame for this. Year

5 (46.52% ROI): The studio's outstanding financial performance is highlighted by the

highest ROI percentage during the five-year period. This can be the outcome of clever

initiatives, well-timed investments, or advantageous market circumstances.

Considering a 2.10-year discounted payback period, the project appears to be

relatively feasible financially. It proves that the project's projected cash inflows,

discounted by their present value, will cover the original investment in a manageable

amount of time. In general, a shorter payback period is preferable since it indicates a

quicker investment recovery and lower risk. Given the time value of money, this

suggests that it will take the enterprise roughly two years and one month to recoup its

initial expenditure. Taking into account the discounted time worth of money, the

computed Net Present worth (NPV) of 12,814,052 over a 5-year period shows a very

positive financial result for Beyond the Walls studio. When time value of money is taken

into account, a positive net present value (NPV) indicates that the project's anticipated

profits would greatly outweigh the original investment and any ensuing expenses. This

suggests a high possibility for financial gain and a solid return on investment.

Over the previous five years, Beyond the Walls Studio's liquidity, as indicated by

the current ratio, has been trending downward. The studio demonstrated a high ability to

satisfy its short-term obligations in Year 1 with a current ratio of 18.88. This was

supported by comparatively low current liabilities of 211,315.64 and significant current

assets of 3,989,273.

91
Nonetheless, the current ratio steadily decreased in the years that followed. After a

decline to 13.61 in Year 2, there were subsequent declines to 13.25 in Year 3, 12.83 in

Year 4, and 12.94 in Year 5. Although these measures continue to show a sound

liquidity position, the studio's capacity to sustain its financial stability is called into

question by the declining trend. This pattern could be caused by a number of things. An

increase in current liabilities, such as accumulated costs or short-term debt, could be

one reason. Another possibility is a decline in current assets, especially cash. The studio

may have made significant investments in long-term assets, which decreased its short-

term liquidity.

The studio has continuously maintained a high equity ratio, ranging from 0.92 to

0.95, across the five years under analysis. With 4,014,976 in total partner capital and

4,226,291 in total assets, the equity ratio was 0.95 in Year 1. This suggests that the

studio had relatively little debt because a sizable amount of its assets were financed by

equity. In the years that followed, the equity ratio stayed comparatively constant at 0.93.

This consistency suggests that the studio has continued to take a cautious financial

stance, giving equity funding precedence over debt. Because it lowers the risk of debt

obligations like interest payments and possible default, a larger equity ratio typically

indicates a stronger financial situation. The studio is well-positioned to withstand future

economic downturns and seize new opportunities because of its financial stability.

Chapter 6

Study Conclusions

This chapter presents the results, findings and conclusions of the proposed

business Beyond the Walls: Studio Rental Space at Jaro, Iloilo City. The following parts

assess the project's feasibility.

Results and Findings

● The results of the survey gave a good turnout of 92.1% of respondents indicating

that they would be eager to rent studio space and use extra services, which is

very encouraging. This high degree of support demonstrates the studio's

potential and vision, pointing to a bright future for the enterprise.

● The 2.10-year discounted payback period suggests lesser risk because it shows

a comparatively speedy recovery of the initial investment. Furthermore, a

considerable potential for financial benefit and a solid return on investment are

shown by the significant positive Net Present Value (NPV) of 12,814,052 over

five years.

● Beyond the Walls Studio has demonstrated remarkable financial development,

with an overall return on investment (ROI) of over 141.54%. The studio's capacity

to produce sizable revenues and establish its place in the market is

demonstrated by this noteworthy return on investment.

● Beyond the Walls Studio current ratio declined during the course of the five

years, despite the company's good liquidity position. This raises the possibility of

93
a reduction in short-term financial flexibility, necessitating close watch over

current assets and liabilities to make sure the studio can pay its bills on time.

● Beyond the Walls Studio has continuously shown solid solvency, as indicated by

its high equity ratio. Due to its financial stability, the studio is well-positioned to

handle any future economic difficulties and seize expansion chances.

Conclusion

1. Based on the strong positive response with a significant 92.1% of respondents

expressing interest in renting studio space and paying additional services,

Beyond the Walls studio appears to be highly feasible.

2. Based on positive data from the payback period and net present value, the

project's 2.10-year discounted payback period and $12.8 million NPV indicate

low risk and high potential returns which Beyond the Walls studio appears to be

financially feasible.

3. Based on the strong financial performance indicated by the high ROI of over

141.54%, Beyond the Walls Studio appears to be highly feasible as well.

4. Even while the decreasing current ratio is concerning, Beyond the Walls Studio

continues to look like a feasible business endeavor, as the studio continues to

retain a good liquidity position.

5. Based on the strong financial position indicated by the high equity ratio, Beyond

the Walls Studio still appears to be feasible.

liability is forwarded on the next operating year with a 5% markup.

● The utilities expenses for the first year are counted for 7 months only, which adds
up to 105,000 PHP as the Beyond the Walls will operate for 8 months only. The
last monthly utility, which is 15,000 PHP, is a liability for the first year and is
forwarded to the next accounting period.

● Tax payables are forwarded on the operating next year because it is due on
every 15th day of the 4th month, and the Beyond the Walls are not yet operating
during that time.

Note 4 - SALARIES

● Annual salaries are computed by adding the monthly salaries of all the
employees, which adds up to and it is subject to a 5% mark up every year.

● In the first operating year of Beyond the Walls, the number of employees was
only three. One security guard, one cleaning staff, and one receptionist. Thus,
the annual salary for the first year is 360,000 PHP computed as 15,000PHP x 3
(staff) x 8 (operating months).

● In the second year of the operation, Beyond the Walls added additional staff and
their monthly salaries accumulated to 1,316,700 PHP.

Note 5- SUPPLIES

● Annual supplies are calculated by adding all the amount of the supplies to be
used in a year with a 5% markup annually.
