Arellano University- Andres Bonifacio Campus 3 Feasibiity Study of Establishing Shady Knits Bag along Montalban Town Center G. Nature of Business Shady Knits Bag belongs to the manufacturing industry. The company is involved in processing the raw materials into finished products through the use of tools and human labor. Manufacturing allows businesses to sell finished products at a higher cost than the value of the raw materials used. (Will Kenton,2022), The company's products are handmade, and handmade goods are labor-intensive and require a lot of time. That is why, even though the raw materials have a low cost, the products are still expensive because they are not made by a machine but by an actual person. H.

Funds for the Shady Knits Bag will also come from other investors made of affection by each member's friends and family with the amount of ₱400,000.00 to gather sufficient funds to lay the company's foundation and establish it.

GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS OF DISPERSION Figure 4: Google Map of Montalban Town Center The researcher’s chosen location is at Montalban Town Center, 2 Rodriguez Hwy, Rodriguez, 1860 Rizal.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE MARKET F.1.DEMANDS Shady Knits Bags knows that every consumer’s income is limited, and for working students, budgeting their earnings is a hard task to do. Due to the changing income of the consumer this affect the company’s demand because, as their income is high the demand is also high but if their income is low, the consumer will purchase fewer quantities, causing the demand to go down and the demand of the product will also go down.
