 SECTION A: CASE STUDY
Answer all parts of the section.
1. Read the following case study and answer the questions that follow:
Despite all the hardships Batuli faced, her business fared very well. On the
management side, she got assistance from TRIDEP extension officers and she
became a livestock expert herself after attending several workshops. She repaid
back the loan from Karo Karungi SACCO that was shs. 10,000,000/= with an
annual interest of 10% on reducing balance method payable in 5 equal annual
installments in 5 years.
When the extension officers were satisfied by the development of the business,
they advised Batuli to purchase her own land and transfer her unit. Batuli thought it
was a good advice. She told her husband about purchasing their own land. He
agreed after he was sure that the land would be registered in his name.
Batuli purchased two hectares of land in the suburbs of the town. She constructed
animal units and a small house to accommodate her three labourers. She
transferred the animals to the new site because there was limited space where she
was staying.
She began building a residential house for the house on the same land. Just before
finishing the house, her husband was involved in a criminal offence and was fired
from his job. Batuli and her husband had to quit the government quarter to stay in
their house even though it was semi – finished.

Sehaba realized the only viable option he had, was to join his wife’s business. His
wife was very happy to have his support. Soon the output increased tremendously
and Batuli opened several selling points in town instead of doing milk rounds.
They employed more people and Sehaba decided to take up the business director’s
position.

When sales and profits increased, they bought a pickup truck for the business. The
vehicle assisted in purchasing of inputs such as feeds and distribution of milk to
selling points. As the business expanded, they decided to diversify by starting a
horticultural unit where they grew various vegetables and fruits. The business
future plan is to buy more land in order to add more enterprises into the business.
