 The budget shows both predicted income and expenditure values as well as a summary of actual income and
expenditure values.
 This inclusion of both predicted versus actual makes it possible to see how the business actually performed
compared to how it was planned or predicted the business would perform.
 The inclusion of actual for 2022 and predicted for 2023 also makes it possible to see how the predictions for
2023 were not simply „guesses‟. Rather, the predictions were based on observation of what actually
happened in 2022.

Example 3
Douglas wants to travel from Cape Town to Durban to visit his cousin. His parents said that they can give him R500
towards the trip. He decides to draw up a budget to determine how much money the trip will cost. His uncle has
offered to give him a lift home so he only needs to budget for the trip to Durban. He has R2 000 saved in his bank
account. He wants to have some spending money left over when he gets there.

He phones Rainbow Buses to find out how much it costs to travel from Cape Town to Durban. They give him two
options:

OPTION 1:
Leave Saturday morning and travel straight to Durban. The trip costs R1 200 and he will need to pay for 3 meals at
R30 per meal.

OPTION 2:
Leave Saturday morning and travel to Plettenberg Bay first. The trip costs only R400. He can then catch a bus on
Sunday morning to Durban. This bus trip will cost R500. If he does this he needs to find a place to stay on Saturday
night and budget for three extra meals (estimated at R30 each). He estimates that a Backpackers’ Lodge would be
the cheapest place to stay, at R200 a night.

Income Expenses Running total of money that he has


Money from parents
Savings
Bus fare
Meals from buses
Accommodation

a) Copy the above budget sheet and fill in the amounts for income and expenses in the correct columns for Option 1
and Option 2.
b) Would you advise Douglas to take Option 1 or Option 2? Explain your answer.

Cost price & selling price

Cost of producing/manufacturing
 The cost price of an item/service refers to the total cost involved in producing/manufacturing the item or
providing the service.
 Understanding the cost price is essential in order to determine how much the item must be sold for or how much
must be charged for the service in order to cover the costs involved in making the item / service.

Example 4
Table 1: Doughnut costs

 Column 2 → the quantity of ingredients needed for a batch of 24 doughnuts.


 Column 3 → the available packet size and price of these ingredients in the shops.
 Column 4 → the cost of the specific quantity of each ingredient needed for the batch of doughnuts.

The „cost per batch‟ values in the last column are the important values with respect to determining the cost price of
the ingredients of the doughnuts since they reflect the cost of the required quantity of each ingredient needed for one
whole batch.

a) Show how all the cost per batch in column 4 were calculated.
b) Calculate the total cost of ingredients for one batch.
c) There are 24 doughnuts in a batch. Calculate the cost price of each doughnut in the batch.

IMPORTANTLY: This cost price only includes consideration of the cost of the ingredients. It does not include
electricity and water costs, or possible rental costs. It also only considers the cost of the ingredients bought in specific
quantity bags/containers. This cost price could change if different sized quantities of ingredients (at different prices)
were bought.

This cost price of R1,16 can be increased to an approximate cost of R1,30 per doughnut to account for other costs
that have not been considered.

Mvelenhle’s Joggit Suits are made of multi-coloured fleece material. His tops have no zips or buttons; they are pull-on
hoodies with a draw string, elastic cuffs and waist bands. On average, a Joggit hoodie requires 1 m of fabric, 135 cm
of draw cord, 120 cm of elastic for the waist band, and 20 cm of elastic for each cuff.

Joggit pants have elastic waist and ankle bands. They are made from plain-coloured fleece material. On average, a
pair of Joggit pants requires 1,9 m fabric, 120 cm of elastic for the waist band, and 40 cm per ankle.

The entire tracksuit uses one third of reel cotton


a) The cost of the material to make the tracksuit is as follows
o Multi-coloured fleece material at R30/m, a plain coloured fleece fabric at R25/m.
o The elastic cost R2/m, the draw string cost R4/m and reel of cotton costs R3,50.

Appropriate selling price
 The selling price is the price at which an item will be sold or a service provided.
 This appropriate selling price needs to be higher than the cost price if all of the costs involved in making the item
or supplying the service are to be covered and a loss is to be avoided.
 Once the cost priced has been determined, an acceptable profit margin or price mark-up must be determined.
 The mark-up is added onto the cost price to create a profit.

Appropriate selling price

 An appropriate selling price is not simply determined by guessing or by choosing a much higher price than
the cost price in order to make as big a profit as possible.
 Rather, the selling price must be guided by the cost price, and must also be informed by how much a similar
item sells for at other shops.

Example 5
If we may go back to the example of doughnuts:

If a doughnut sells for an average price of R5,00 at several other shops, then it does not make sense to sell the
doughnut for R15,00 because the buyers will feel that this is very expensive. A more appropriate selling price might
be R5,00 or even R7,50, or something similar that is not significantly different from the prices in other shops.

Percentage profit
 When a business sells things, it needs to determine the cost at which it will sell each item.
 This cost may be determined by a specific profit the business wants to make or by market related prices, i.e.
they should not be too cheap or too expensive.
 The difference between the cost price and the selling price is the profit also known as the mark-up.
 The mark-up (profit) may be given in Rand value or as a percentage.
 To calculate the profit as a percentage we use the following equation:
 If the cost and the percentage mark-up is known, then the sale price is the original cost plus the amount of
mark-up
 The following formulae may be used to calculate the cost price, selling price, profit/loss and percentage profit:

Selling price Cost price

𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 + 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 − 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡

Profit/loss Percentage profit

𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 = 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒


𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 = × 100

3. The Department of Health advertised for companies to tender to supply sterile disposable rubber gloves to a local
clinic. Rubber gloves come in different sizes and are generally sold in boxes containing 50 pairs of the same size.
The clinic required 100 boxes of each of the following sizes of gloves: 6½, 7, 7½ and 8.

Mvelenhle Sciences Co-operative which is 100% black-owned, decided to submit a tender to the Department of
Health. It costs Mvelenhle Sciences R98,00 per box (excluding VAT) to manufacture the gloves, regardless of the
size of the gloves. Mvelenhle Sciences first adds a profit of 25% on the price of each box, and then charges a
further 20% for the transport and administration costs.
a) The table below shows Mvelenhle Sciences format for calculating the selling price of their gloves. Use the
table to determine the values of items A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Show all your calculations.

Item
Cost of manufacturing the required number of boxes A
Profit of 25% on the cost price B
Subtotal C=A+B
20% for transport and admission costs D
Subtotal E=C+D
15% VAT F
TOTAL SELLING PRICE OF THE GLOVES (also called Pt., G=E+F
the value of the tender consideration)

b) The Department of Health uses the following formula to make decisions about which company will be
granted the tender:
𝐏𝐭 − 𝐏𝐦𝐢𝐧
𝐏𝐬 = 𝟖𝟎 (𝟏 − ) + 𝟐, 𝟓
𝐏𝐦𝐢𝐧
Where:
 Ps = point scored for the tender
 Pt. = value of the tender under consideration (in Rand)
 Pmin = lowest acceptable tender value (in Rand)
 2,5 is only added in the case of a 100% black owned business

The lowest acceptable tender value (Pmin) for rubber gloves is R56 000. Use the total selling price (Pt.)
calculated in the above table to calculate Ps, the number of points scored by Mvelenhle Sciences Co-
operative.

c) The total selling price tendered (Pt.) by another company, Vanessa Enterprises, which is 100% white-
owned was R66 000. The Department of Health announced that the tender that scored the highest
number of points will be awarded the contract. Show, with the aid of the formula given in QUESTION b),
whether Mvelenhle Sciences or Vanessa Enterprises will be awarded the tender.

a) Calculate the total amount spent for the year on rent and food if she chooses a double room.
b) Staying in a double room costs less than staying in a single room. Give ONE reason for the difference in
costs,

Break-even analysis
 The break-even value in a business or organisation refers to the amount of income that the business or
organisation must make in order to cover all expenses incurred in the running of the business.
 In other words, the break-even point gives an indication of how much money a business/organisation must
make in order to make a profit.

Outside of a business context, the term „break-even‟ is used to refer to the values for which two things are equal: for
example:

 The number of minutes of talk time for which the cost of talking on two different cell phone contracts is equal;
 The number of units of electricity that must be used on two different systems for the cost of that usage to be
equal.

In order for a business to do well they need to be in control of their income and their expenses.
Income – Expenses = Profit.
The goal of every business is to make the maximum profit.
 If the income is more than the expenses, the business makes a profit.
 If the income is less than the expenses, the business makes a loss.
 If the income is exactly the same as the expenses, the business breaks even.

Interest, Loans and Banking

Interest

Terminology
 Interest is the amount of money paid in return for the use of someone else’s money.
 Interest rate is the rate at which interest is paid by a borrower for the use of money that they borrow from a
lender.
o Stress!!! That an interest rate is not an amount but a percentage such as 3%.
 Borrower – the person who borrows money from somebody
 Lender – the person/institution who lends money to the borrower. The money must be paid back.
 Loan term – the period over which the money may be paid back
 Repayment – the regular payment on the outstanding balance.
 Per annum – per year
 Principal amount – the original amount of money initially invested or borrowed
 Simple interest – the interest calculated only on the principal amount, and is the same each time it is paid.
 Total/Accumulated amount – the principal amount plus the interest.
 Compound interest – interest calculated on the total/accumulated amount.

 Interest can be paid on money which is invested in two different ways i.e. simple and compound.

Interest calculate without the use of the formulae

Simple interest
 With simple interest, the interest earned or paid on amount invested or borrowed stays the same.
 If we know what the interest rate is, we can calculate the amount of interest quite simply.
 The amount of interest payable depends on the interest rate.
o The lower the interest rate, the lesser the payment and,
o The higher the interest rate, the more the payment.

Example 6 - Loan
1. Ayanda borrowed R350,00 from his nephew at a simple interest rate of 6% per annum. Calculate the interest she
has to pay if the loan is repaid after
a) one year
b) two years
c) three months
d) Calculate the total amount after three years.

2. Jeffrey wants to buy a bicycle. He then borrowed R800 from his uncle and promised to pay it back in 3 months at
a simple interest rate of 5%.
a) Write down the principal amount.
b) Determine the total amount Jan has to pay.

Calculating the interest rate
 If you are given the final amount, then you follow these steps to find the interest rate:
o Find the difference between the final amount and the original amount, this gives you the amount of
interest.
o Work out what percentage the amount of interest is of the principal amount.

Example 7 – Loan
Jeffrey paid his uncle a total amount R920 after borrowing R800 to buy a bicycle. Determine the interest rate that was
charged.

Total amount at the end of the year R214 R228

Copy and complete the table by filling in the amount of money Zamadumbe would have earned at the end of each
year from year 2 to year 10.

Discuss with learners to determine why it is sometimes better to take up loans or borrow money from family members.

 If one takes up a loan from a bank or financial institution, the person needs to have proof of earnings and
other guarantees before the bank or financial institution grants the loan.
 Therefore it might be a better idea or easier to make an informal loan agreement with family members.

 Linear graphs can be used to represent simple interest scenarios.

Compound interest
 Compound interest increases because the interest is added to the lump sum so you calculate the interest on a
bigger lump sum for every year.
 Unlike simple interest, Compound interest is calculated on the total/accumulated amount.
o Interest increases constantly.
o It yields more interest over time than simple interest.
 In compound interest, you also earn interest on interest.
 In compound interest, interest can be compounded:
o Daily, monthly, quarterly, half yearly (semi-annual), annually
o The table below shows what happen to interest rate and investment/repayment period when
compounded as above

Compounded Interest rate (divide by) Period (multiply by)


Daily 365 365
Monthly 12 12
Quarterly 4 4
e.g. 8% for 2 years 8% ÷ 𝟒 = 2% 2×𝟒 =8
Half yearly/semi-annual 2 2

Banking

Two ways of saving money

 You can save money by depositing a lump sum into an account and leaving it there for a fixed period of time
to earn interest.
o For example depositing R700 into an account for four years.
 You can also save money by making regular payments into an account over a period of time.
o For example, paying R100 a month into an account for four years.

Example 9

 Liquid assets – assets that are easily converted to cash


 Liquidity – it refers to the ease with which assets can be converted to cash.
 Overdraft – this is a loan from a bank that allows for a debit balance on a account
 Credit card – a small plastic card issued by a bank or other financial institution for the purpose of buying
goods and services on credit
 Credit limit – it’s the maximum amount that a bank or financial institution will allow a client to borrow
 Debit card – a small plastic card issued by a bank or financial institution for the purpose of buying goods and
services with money that comes directly from your bank account
 Deposit – putting money into an account
 Bank charge or transactional fee – an amount of money payable for bank services provided

 Debit order – an instruction to a bank to pay an amount that differs from month to month to a person or a
business.
 Stop order - an instruction to a bank to pay a fixed amount on a monthly basis to a person or business.

Bank account
 Bank accounts offer a secure place for individuals, businesses or corporations to keep their money.
 Bank accounts differ and they don’t all allow for the same access to money or charge the same fees or give the
same interest.
 There are various types of bank accounts. These include:
o Current/cheque accounts,
o savings accounts,
o fixed deposit accounts, etc.

Savings account
 Most people open a savings account, which pays interest.
 The account is suitable for short-term savings (savings that will be used within a year for something like school
fees).
 Below is a table comparing the advantages and disadvantages of a savings account:

Advantages Disadvantages
The account allows customers to earn The liquid assets cannot be used directly as money
money on their liquid assets in the form of
interest
It allow regular access to money Interest is only added onto the account at the end of the month
Withdrawals from savings account are occasionally costly and
are sometimes time-consuming
Due to liquidity of this type of account, interest rates are low.

Inflation
 Inflation is a measure of the change in the purchasing power of money over time.
 inflation represents the average increase in the prices of a variety of goods and services over time and that
different items can have different inflation rates
 Purchasing power tells you the relative value of money in one year compared to another year, as a
percentage.
 Inflation rates are given as percentages.
o It is the average rate (%) by which the prices of products have increased over a period of time.
 Inflation is given as a percentage increase per annum.
 To determine the inflation rate, banks refer to a “basket” of goods of which the prices are compared over time. If
the cost of the “basket” increases with a specific percentage that indicates the interest rate.

The inflation rate shows us with what percentage goods and services have increased over a specific time. This does
not mean that everything in the country has increased by that percentage, but it gives us an idea of the average
increase.

Even when there is a decrease in the inflation rate it does not mean that goods become cheaper, it only means that
their prices increase, but with a smaller percentage (slower rate).

Inflation causes the worth of money to decrease – you cannot buy the same amount of goods with the same amount
of money.
