Operating expenses totaled R1 200 000 whilst the company tax amounted to R336 000.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of the total sales are estimated to be on credit. Company tax will be calculated at 27% of the pre-tax profit and 10% of this amount is expected to be unpaid on 31 December 2024. A final dividend of R400 000 is expected to be declared on 31 December 2024 and is payable during 2025. The unsold shares are expected to be issued on 31 March 2024 at R3 each.

A new machine with a cost price of R700 000 will be purchased during January 2024. Depreciation for 2024 (included in the operating expenses) is expected to amount to R300 000. R760 000 will be paid to Jip Bank during 2024 and this amount includes R360 000 for interest. The cash balance must be calculated (balancing figure).Elsies Limited is considering the purchase of a machine to manufacture some of the spare parts for the catering equipment during 2025. The company desires a minimum required rate of return of 12%. The machine will cost R2 000 000 plus R400 000 for installation and is predicted to have a useful life of five years. A salvage value of R100 000 is estimated. The machine is expected to generate cash inflows of R800 000 per year but will require the employment of two new machine operators at R100 000 per year for each operator, and it will require maintenance and repairs averaging R40 000 per year. Depreciation will be calculated using the straight-line method.
