Answer:
The answer is option B) without a carefully calculated financial plan, a firm has little chance for survival, regardless of its product or marketing effectiveness.
Explanation:
The financial plan of an organization also known as financials is a record used to determine how a business will afford to achieve its strategic goals and objectives.
The Financial Plan collates each of the activities, resources, equipment and materials that are needed to achieve these objectives and specify time frames involved.
A financial plan contains a sales forecast, expense budget, cash flow statement, income projections, asset and liabilities, depreciation table, break even analysis and pre-operating costs. It shows whether the firm is making profit or running at a loss.
It is usually prepared in a spreadsheet.
This plan is what the bank and investors will need to evaluate your business.
