4. Credit terms with the suppliers of materials are 2 months, all other expenses, where payable, are paid in the month incurred unless indicated otherwise above.
5. Accounts receivable at 30 June 2024 will amount to $30,000. This is the gross figure and does NOT include any potential bad debts.
6. Accounts payable at 30 June 2024 will amount to $100,000 all of which relates to materials - 45% of this balance is payable in July and the remainder in Aug 2024.
