FINANCIAL SUMMARY Total Expenses Animals Purchases (page 2A) $ Project Expense (page 5) $ Project Inventory (page 4A) $ TOTAL EXPENSE $ Total Assets (value) Income (page 6) $ Project Inventory (page 3 Item B) $ (End of Year Value) Animal Inventory Total (page 2B) $ PROJECT INCOME TOTAL INCOME $ Total expense subtracted from total income equals project income. If total income is less than total expenses, you have lost money on your project. You need to find the reason for the loss and make necessary changes, if you are keeping the cavy project as a business. Not all projects make money. Sometimes you must consider that a pet cavy, as used in the Showmanship Contest, is a cost item and the pleasure and experience of having the cavy is well worth the expense. A Work of Explanation Records are kept so that you will have a better idea of where the money comes from and what it is spent for. Your good animals will appear on the record sheet because of their value as breeders. Cavies which have poor records can be spotted and sold. Use the expense and income columns to list all purchases made or items sold. Record the items on the date you bought or sold them. When items are used at home, assign a fair market value for record purposes. A fair market value is what one would have to pay a competitor or a store to buy that product. Be fair and sensible; don't try to pad your records. Include fair premiums as an income. Date Leader's Signature 11
