24. PROBLEM #3

25. The first step in
addressing the Business
Model is to ensure that
you have the correct
margins flowing in
your business.
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
26. The best way to address this is to find out how much cost
you can afford for the CURRENT level of sales.
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
27. In the short term you
have more control over
your COSTS than your
SALES so let’s see how
to do that

28. PROBLEM #3
$10,000 off Annual Other Costs

29. Once you are getting the right margin on the sales
that are currently in your business
(i.e. Your Customer Value Measure is Correct)…
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
30. The next step is to make sure
you have the correct volume
of sales in your business
(i.e. Address your Transaction Flow Measure)
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
31. 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
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
32. 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
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
33. PROBLEM #3
$200,000 more sales
$160,000 more costs
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
34. If you are able to hold your working capital to the
same level with the additional sales then the model
looks fine
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
35. However with additional sales and costs of interaction
it is likely that both Accounts Receivable and Accounts
Payable will increase
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
36. 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
© Copyright One Sherpa Pty Ltd 2010
37. 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
