Production plan
With a single automatic machine, 1000 bags a day may not be realizable
except work is done day & night. Another Automatic machine is to be bought
as the business grows. The production team comprises of the production
manager, operator and factory attendants.

Marketing Plan
Distributors shall be invited to distribute with a very good plan. The water
could be sold directly by the coys salesman on the streets of Abuja.
- 10 delivery points of 100 bags each-1000bags
- There Shall be Street by Street Sales
- Good price and prompt delivery
- Buy 10 bags get one free.
The company shall also use any competitive advantage to market its product.

Examination Of Critical Risks


All business has risks but all risks may not occur if business is run with
carefulness and with experience. The risk commonly associated with pure

water business is poor quality. Poor quality could lead to rejection of the water
in the market. Entering into market with wrong impression will give the
product poor acceptability. Others include credit sales, carelessness of the
employees in wastage & embezzlement. Another one is the entrepreneur
quest for self gratification i.e. the investor spending out of the investment for
luxuries. Buying vehicle that are of low grade could also be a serious risk
because the vehicle maintenance could consume the business?

Financial and Economic plan.


Income
With a target of 1000 bags daily and with buy 10 get 1 bag free we cost 900
bags per day. 1 bag cost N100. 900x N100=
N90, 000
Or with the low price strategy i.e. 1 bag @ #80
#80x1000bags -#80,000
Or by the two strategies
I.e. buy 10 bags get I free bag @ #80
- #80x900bags=#72,000
Daily gross income +#72,000
Monthly gross income
=
N 72, 000 x 26 days
Forecasted monthly income =
N 1872, 000

Expenditure (daily)
Sachet film and packing bags
1kg of film cost = N 500
50kg is needed to produce 1000 bags
50kg x N 500 = N 25, 000
1 bundle of packing bag is needed = N 3, 000
Fuel and diesel = N 15, 000
Local transport, recharge cards and miscellaneous = N 5, 000
Daily wages = N 67, 000 divide by 30 = N 2,233. 3
Forecasted daily expenditure = N 25, 000 + 3, 000 + 8,000 + 2, 233.3
= N 35, 233. 3

Forecasted monthly expenditure = 35, 233. 2x 26


= N 916, 065. 8
Forecasted monthly net income
Monthly gross income expenditure
Income - N 1872, 000
Expenditure -N 916, 065. 8
Forecasted monthly net income
= N 955, 934. 2

Conclusion
It is a lucrative business which needs a little, hard working at the beginning.
Producing and selling 1000 bags a day is possible as some people are producing
and selling 12, 000 bags / day in Abuja, the profit accrued could be used for loan
repayment or reinvestment into the business for greater exploits.
