Use the following information for questions 81 to 88:

A family friend, Mr. Ruben Rustia, availed of the early retirement scheme offered by his
employer. He said that he was already tired of the routine of spending 8 full hours in an office
doing the same thing for the last 20 years. Mr. Rustia plans to get into the field of
entrepreneurship. He would invest part of his retirement pay in a business that would deal with
the sale of medical supplies to local clinics and hospitals. When Mr. Rustia learned that you are
an accountant, he confessed that he is excited with his planned investment project, but very much
afraid because he cannot afford to fail and lose his hard earned retirement pay.

You advised that a Feasibility Study be prepared for his planned investment project. The study,
you said, would determine the viability of his proposed undertaking. It would cover key areas,
such as marketing, production or purchasing, and finance, among others. You emphasized that
the financial aspect is the most critical of them all. Mr. Rustia requested you to prepare a
feasibility study for his proposed business. You immediately started and gathered the following
relevant data:
a. Projected sales for the first year of operations is P 288,000, spread evenly during the year.
All sales will be on account with average collection period of one month.
b. The cost ratio will be 60% of sales.
c. At the end of the first year, the acid-test ratio will be 1:1, while the current ratio will be
2:1.
d. Once the business is underway, purchases will replace the stock sold each month. The
average payment period for accounts payable arising from purchases of merchandise will
be two (2) months.
e. Mr. Rustia will open an account with the nearest bank and deposit P 260,000 to start the
business.
f. Various fixed assets will be acquired for cash at a total cost of P 240,000. These fixed
assets will be depreciated at the rate of 10% per year using the straight line method.

Page 15 of 19
g. Operating expenses, other than depreciation, is estimated at P 70,000 per year. There will
be no accruals and prepayment at year end.
h. Mr. Rustia will make drawings in excess of the amount necessary to meet the above plans.
