Summary two: Profitability and Return on Investment

Earnings (for 8 months)
The sales revenue is approximated on one,000 hens with a mortality amount of seven% therefore 930 hens web. It is approximated that each and every hen lays 292 eggs for each calendar year. This is professional rated above an 8 thirty day period period to comprise of the initial fiscal period (as four months are in which the chicken are maturing). In Uganda, eggs are sold in trays of thirty. It is believed at August 2011 that each egg value Shs 300 thus indicating a tray costs Shs 9,000

On foundation of above, Income above the time period will be:

one thousand hens a lot less 7% mortality: 930 hens * 292 eggs each and every =271,560 eggs = 9,052 trays
Every single tray is Shs 9,000 consequently 9,052 *9000 = Shs 81,468,000 for each year (or 292 days more than an yearly period of time that the hens lay)
