Help me analys a sentence, please!

Hi everyone, great forum!

I have a sentence I have to analysis till monday and I could really use some help. We've been thaught how to find phrases (forms), functions (S, V; DO, IO, SC, OC etc.), and clauses. Only one of the sentences seem to consist of two .. oh no... main phrases (don't know what it's called in English). I cannot determine the clause - if there is one. And we have not learned what to do in such a case. Are you alowed to have two VPs and two NPs in one sentence?

"Cellnet has 500,000 mobile phone subscribers and buisness is booming this year"

Can anyone explain it to me?

What you have here is a classic compound sentence: two independent clauses separated by a coordinating conjunction ( and ). Each of the two independent clauses has a subject (noun phrase) and a predicate (verb phrase + verb object). The predicate of the second clause also includes an adverbial phrase of time.
