Question 4
Tinnsell Town is a small business run by Chris Marstime that manufactures and sells toys for young
children. The business began in 2018 and, after a successful first year, has continued to grow.
Tinnsell Town currently operates under a sole-trader structure, as Chris set up the business with
money received through an inheritance. The business is located outside of a major city, and includes
a large shed (in which manufacturing takes place) and a small shop in front of the shed (from which all
sales are made). Chris imports all of the materials that he uses to manufacture his toys from a cheap
international supplier.
Based on the first 2 years’ results Chris has budgeted for further growth, but he is seeking your advice.
Chris is planning on selling some of his products to the international market in 2021, and used only the
figures from 2019 and 2020 to make his budget estimates. Chris did not conduct any research or seek
any other advice when calculating his figures.
As part of Chris’s plan to expand his business, he is considering taking on an international partner.
The partner would contribute $100 000 to help set up shops internationally. The budgeted figures are
based on Chris’s projections of the increased sales that would be achieved in the international market,
but do not include the additional cash and equity that would be contributed by the partner.
