Communication Activity CT9.4 Service in order to better serve their rural patients. Dus. Hao und Jun Zhang (brothers) began giving safety seminas Especially popular were their emergency preparedness talks given to former Many people asked whether the "kit" of materials the doctors recommended for common farm emergen- cies was commercially available. After checking with several suppliers, the doctors realized that no other company offered the sup plies they recommended in their seminars, packaged in the way they described. Their wives, Tian and Qing, agreed to make a test package by ordering supplies from various medical supply companies and assembling them into a "kit" that could be sold at the seminars. When these kits proved a runaway suc cess, the sister-in-law decided to market them. At the advice of their accountant, they organized this venture as a separate company, called Life Protection Products (L.PP), with Tian Zhang as CEO and Oing Zhang as Secretary-Treasurer LPP soon started receiving requests for the kits from all over the country, as word spread about their availability. Even without advertising, LPP was able to sell its full inventory every month. However, the company was becoming financially strained. Tian and Qing and about HK$1,000,000 in savings, and they invested about half that amount initially. They believed that this venture would allow them to make money. However, at the present time, only about HK$300,000 of the cash remain, and the company is constantly short of cash. Tian has come to you for advice. She does not understand why the company is having cash flow problems. She and Qing have not even been withdrawing salaries. However, they have rented a local building and have hired two more full-time workers to help them cope with the increasing demand. They do not think they could handle the demand without this additional help Tian is also worried that the cash problems mean that the company may not be able to suppor itself. She has prepared the cash budget that follows. All seminar customers pay for their product in full at the time of purchase. In addition, several large companies have ordered the kits for use employees who work in remote sites. They have requested credit terms and have been allowed pay in the month following the sale. These large purchasers amount to about 25% of the sales at present time. LPP purchases the materials for the kits about 2 months ahead of time. Tian and in are considering slowing the growth of the company by simply purchasing less materials, which will mean selling fewer kits. The workers are paid weekly. Tian and Qing need about HK$150.000 cash on hand at the beginning of the month to pay for purchases of raw materials. Right now they have been using cash from their ings, but as noted, only HK$300,000 is left.
