Task 2 (Assessment criteria 3):
Cash Flow
Dr Adrian Lund resigned as a doctor, and decided to set up his own firm, where he would make and sell toys. He did some calculations and made estimates of his potential costs and revenues.
Sales revenue is expected to fall by a quarter in September, and October is expected to bring the same revenue as September. It is predicted to rise to £1200 in November, and go up to £3000 in December due to the Christmas rush.
Rent of his shop will be £300 per month. Power bills, for heating and lighting are expected to be £50 per quarter (every three months) starting in August. The telephone bill is expected to be £25 per quarter, starting in September.
The cost of raw materials is expected to make up half the price of the toy, and so will be half of sales revenue.
Wage bills will be £100 per month, except in August and December, when they will be £200.
The bank loan that Dr Lund has taken out will cost him £65 per month for the first year of trading. It is realistic to expect that other expenses will be £40 per month.
Dr Lund has put in £350 in (all the money he has) to open his firm’s bank account on the 2nd of August, on the understanding that the bank will, under no circumstances allow any more than a £50 overdraft.
Answer the following questions:
1. Complete the cash flow forecast for Lund Toys - see next page (the sales for August and the opening balance at the beginning of August have been provided). Use a pencil for first draft!
2. Using this as an example, explain/comment critically on the purpose of cash flow management and to what extent a business should concentrate on Cash Flow rather than profit.
3. What is the most significant piece of information contained in Dr Lund’s cash flow forecast, and why?
4. Identify and explain four possible strategies that could keep Lund Toys in business.

TASK 3 Assessment Criteria 4:
Concepts and uses of ratio analysis
Patrick and Gillian O’Rourke have always wanted to own a farm. Patrick has worked on farms all his life and has a great deal of experience in mixed farming. Gillian, on the other hand, has been in publishing and recently sold her Gloucester-based publishing business for £350,000. They are now in a position to buy a small farm, although they expect to have to borrow some money to help fund the purchase. After several months of searching they have identified two possible targets. Both farms are private limited companies and both owners are keen for a quick sale.
Patrick and Gillian have approached an independent financial advisor for advice.
Read the following two case studies, you are required to prepare the following:
1. Calculate a range of appropriate accounting ratios.
2. Discuss/interpret all the information in the case studies and write a report from the advisor recommending which farm they should buy. Remember to include:
a. Information from case studies, including non-financial information.
b. Discussion/interpretation of financial information using analysis of ratios you have calculated
c. Description/critical comment of possible limitations there may be in your analysis.
d. A justified recommendation, based on your findings, to purchase one of the farms.
Your report should be between 750 - 1000 words.

CASE STUDY 2 - COLD ASTON FARM
Cold Aston Farm is situated in Cold Aston, Gloucestershire, near to where Patrick and Gillian currently live. The farm has more land, 1,700 acres, but some of it is prone to flooding. As a result, yields from the land can be quite variable. The farm is quite run down. For example, the cattle sheds are derelict and the barn roof has been blown off. The agricultural machinery is also old and much of it needs replacing. The farm is owned by Roger and Davina Bartlett who inherited from their father two years ago. Roger and Davina have lost interest in farming and want to sell up. The profit and loss account and balance sheet are show below.
