when a set of numbers is
given to you?

the fact that you
can’t get what
the numbers are
saying?

easier way of understanding
the numbers of your business?

numbers are one of your greatest assets in your business?

Minute Business Checkup


PROBLEM #3


The first step in
addressing the shape of
your business is to
ensure that you have the
correct margins flowing
in your business.

The best way to address this is to find out how much cost
you can afford for the CURRENT level of sales.


In the short term you
have more control over
your COSTS than your
SALES so let’s see how
to do that


PROBLEM #3

$10,000 off Annual Other Costs


Once you are getting the right margin on the sales
that are currently in your business
(i.e. Your Customer Value Measure is Correct)…


The next step is to make sure
you have the correct volume
of sales in your business

(i.e. Address your Transaction Flow Measure)

To calculate the correct The reason for this is that to
volume of business, take be sustainable your
the Administration Costs administration costs should
and divide by .12 not exceed 12 cents in each
dollar of sales.
i.e. $120,000 / .12 =
$1,000,000


Adding $200,000 of sales
will also require more
interaction costs such as
product costs , people costs
and marketing costs…

so we’ve added $160,000 to
other costs in the model


PROBLEM #3

$200,000 more sales

$160,000 more costs


If you are able to hold your working capital to the
same level with the additional sales then the model
looks fine


However with additional sales and costs of interaction
it is likely that both Accounts Receivable and Accounts
Payable will increase

To calculate the likely increase we ratio the increase as
follows:
Accounts Receivable

Original Accounts Receivable DIVIDED BY Original Sales MULTIPLIED BY New
Sales EQUALS New Accounts Receivable

$120,000/ $800,000 * $1,000,000 = $150,000


To calculate the likely increase we ratio the increase as
follows:
Accounts Payable

Original Accounts Payable DIVIDED BY Original Other Costs MULTIPLIED BY New Other
Costs EQUALS New Accounts Payable

$90,000/ $580,000 * $740,000 = $114,827 say $114,830


PROBLEM #3

$30,000 more Accounts Receivable

$24,830 more Accounts Payable
