The experience of the business has been on collecting 60% of credit sales in
the month of sales, 30% in the next month after the month of sales and
10% in the following month. The business expects this collection behaviour
to exist in 2021.
Because of the collection behaviour that exists in 2020, the business has
practised payments of raw materials (direct materials) in the same manner:
60% of total raw material purchases are paid for in the current month,
30% in the next month and 10% in the following month
Payment for direct labour costs and salaries of management are paid for
in the current month since this is based on fortnight payments.
Payment for Overhead costs (including depreciation of $1,500) are planned to
be paid for in the following manner: 40% in the current month and 60% in
the next month.
Total General Administration and Supporting Costs are estimated to be
$15,000 per month (including Salaries for management of $6,000). These
costs are paid for in the next month after the month in which the costs are
incurred.
The business has a mortgage loan and loan repayment is fixed at $2,250 per
month.
The projected opening cash balance for 2021 is $13,000
