In BridgeCo water Question ( June 2008 exam paper ) Can you explain how we got the values for trainer costs and also the other costs. Also , why haven’t we taken 50% of trainer costs in Q1 and Q2 because it is stated in the scenario that other 50% of trainer costs were delayed and paid one month later then the rest 50% of costs must have paid in Q1 and Q2. Right?

Delaying payment affects the cash flows, but does not affect the profit – expenses are charge in the period in which they are incurred. (This is basic financial accounts).Since there is extra revenue of 20% but the sales price is the same, it must mean there are 20% more students. They are keeping the same tutorial and room standards and so they will need to spend 20% more on trainers and on room hire.
