  1. Cash at bank on 1 January is £300,000

Wages = £77,040 ÷ 12 (months) = £6,420 ÷ 4 (week) = £1,605 (wages per week)

Therefore, in January is going to be one week kept in hand, therefore the wages will be £1,605 x 3 (weeks) = £4,815

But, in February to June is going to £1,605 x 4 (weeks) = £6,420 

Administration Cost = £24,600 ÷ 12 (months) = £2,050

Selling Cost = £41,400 ÷ 12 (months) = £3,450

Distribution Cost = ...
