Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Use one accepted sale unit throughout
Work through a fictional KSh 3,000.00 invoice against KSh 2,300.00 of selected cost lines; distinguish the invoice from collected cash.
This is a planning reference for printable planner design. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional planner PLAN-56 creates an undated A4 weekly planner plus an A5 version and one filled example. Fields are week beginning, three priorities, Monday–Sunday task boxes, appointments, spending notes and next-week carryover. Example entries: Monday 'confirm printer proof', Wednesday 'collect stock', Friday 'reconcile receipts'. No claimed productivity, therapeutic or financial outcome is attached. Output is two print PDFs, editable source and printing instructions; fillable digital fields are excluded unless separately scoped.
Charging basis to confirm: planner edition. The rates and quantities below are teaching assumptions. Even a previously recorded listing is not adopted here as a current quotation or an earnings forecast.
Itemised arithmetic
| Selected input/activity | Quantity | Assumed unit rate | Selected cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planner requirements hours | 1 | KSh 400.00 | KSh 400.00 |
| Two-size layout hours | 3 | KSh 400.00 | KSh 1,200.00 |
| Filled-example/proof hours | 1.5 | KSh 400.00 | KSh 600.00 |
| A4 proof pages | 2 | KSh 30.00 | KSh 60.00 |
| A5 proof pages | 2 | KSh 20.00 | KSh 40.00 |
| Calculation | Teaching result |
|---|---|
| Selected cost total | KSh 2,300.00 |
| Priced/accepted output | 1 example units |
| Assumed selling price | KSh 3,000.00 |
| Assumed invoice | KSh 3,000.00 |
| Difference before excluded costs and tax | KSh 700.00 |
Assumed production cost is 400+1,200+600+60+40=2,300. A fictional 3,000 custom-design fee gives 700 pre-tax planning surplus. Commercial resale rights, bulk printing, platform fees, tax and fillable-PDF programming are excluded. This is a custom design project, not a forecast for selling unlimited planner downloads; each download platform would require its own fees and licence model.
Check cash timing and a weaker outcome
TRAINING-0556: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 3,000.00 each. Buyer group: Individuals and small business owners. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 1 x KSh 3,000.00 = KSh 3,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 2,300.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 700.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 900.00. The invoice balance is KSh 2,100.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 1,400.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
On full collection, total receipts are KSh 3,000.00. Cash against the selected example bill is KSh 700.00 before other payments. If a hypothetical 10% increase in the largest selected line (Two-size layout hours) adds KSh 120.00, the unchanged invoice leaves KSh 580.00 against that revised bill.
If the customer instead leaves 10% of the invoice unpaid, KSh 300.00 is a receivable. Cash collected is KSh 2,700.00 and collected cash less the selected bill is KSh 400.00. This differs from invoice margin; do not spend the unpaid amount as though it is already cash.
The scenario is complete only as a teaching record of the stated lines. Add actual excluded startup and operating costs using file 12, and replace every assumed rate before relying on a quote. Use measured accepted output for the actual invoice; unaccepted output is not automatically chargeable.
For an actual quote, add all relevant excluded costs, use measured accepted output, and compare amounts from the same period. An unpaid invoice balance is not available cash. A deposit held for an uncompleted obligation is not automatically earned income.
