Rita Mc Govern is starting her business in the hair care industry by launching Wonderful Hair HD). She has undertaken some initial analysis of the market and believes that she can sell 9,000 units of the WHD in the first 3 months of business. She is confident that she can achieve a 5% growth in sales for each of the remaining 3 quarters of the year. The WHD will sell at $20 per unit and she is confident that she can negotiate a price with a supplier that will give her a gross margin of 25%, (that is the Cost of Sales will be 75%). In order to get this price from suppliers, she will have to agree to payment terms that require her to pay for purchases in one month. Sales will be to the business community and wil therefore all be on credit. In order to develop sales in the early days of the business, Rita will give 2 months credit to customers Rita expects to have $60,000 to invest in the business, but will also seek a loan of $20,000 from the bank with interest rate of 8% per annum.

She will spend the remaining cash $40,000 on initial inventory. As stated above all subsequent purchases will be on credit with 1 month to pay. The inventory levels will remain constant at $40,000 which means that the purchases cost of sales The fixed assets acquired on day one will be depreciated at a rate of 20% which equals $8,000 per annum. Expenses and overheads will be paid as incurred and are estimated to be $5,000 in Q1, and will increase at a rate of 5% per quarter thereafter Corporation tax is charged at a rate of 12.5% on profits, but the tax will only be paid in the last quarter (end of year).
