Electricity is paid quarterly in arrears in March and June. In March a new van will be purchased at a net cost of 11. The business is starting with 12 cash in January.

  8. Cash Flow: Estimates from monthly income statement 2. Trade payable payments = COGS 1 month later 1. Trade receivable receipts = Sales 1 month later 5. Electric paid after, quarterly in March and June 3. In April payable payments = March COGS - 5 6. Van purchased for 11 in March 7
