Production and sales volumes for his first four months of business: Jun 2021: 50% of normal production capacity Break-even units Jul 2021: Aug 2021 Sept 2021 650 units 100% of normal production capacity He estimates that only 25% of sales will be on a cash basis since all customers will be wholesalers. Seventy-five percent of his proposed customers indicated that they would like to utilise a one month credit line. Bad debts, if any, would be negligible. 2. Material purchases Glue will be purchased in the month prior to required use. His suppliers granted him one month credit for payments. Duzzle will utilise this credit to facilitate his cash flow. Paint is in short supply and therefore Duzzle plans to buy his entire paint requirement for the first four months in June. Supply only takes place on a cash-order basis. Plywood will be a stocked item with a minimum of 300 meters in stock at all times. Due to the supplier's delivery charges being high, Plywood would be bought on a two-month cycle: requirements for June and July would therefore be acquired at the beginning of June and for August and September acquired at the beginning of August. 3. All other costs are paid immediately when incurred, except for Sales Commission which is paid one month later. 4. A refundable rental deposit equal to one month's rent of R2 000 is payable at the beginning of June 2021.
