Study skills workshops in Kenya: Pricing, Costing and Cash Flow Example
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Use one accepted sale unit throughout
Work through a fictional KSh 2,000.00 invoice against KSh 1,170.00 of selected cost lines; distinguish the invoice from collected cash.
This is a planning reference for study skills workshops. 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 STUDY-135 is a one-hour workshop using original cards: water freezes at 0°C under ordinary reference conditions; a triangle has three sides; 7×8=56. Learners close the card, recall, check, mark uncertainty and schedule another attempt tomorrow and three days later. These example intervals are a proposed plan, not a guaranteed optimum.
Charging basis to confirm: Planning workshop. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preparation hours | 1 | KSh 450.00 | KSh 450.00 |
| Workshop hours | 1 | KSh 600.00 | KSh 600.00 |
| Cards | 12 | KSh 10.00 | KSh 120.00 |
| Calculation | Teaching result |
|---|---|
| Selected cost total | KSh 1,170.00 |
| Priced/accepted output | 4 example units |
| Assumed selling price | KSh 500.00 |
| Assumed invoice | KSh 2,000.00 |
| Difference before excluded costs and tax | KSh 830.00 |
Fictional cost 450+600+120=1,170. Four assumed 500 places yield 2,000 and 830 before tax. Venue, travel and subject tuition excluded. Workshop outcomes are unmeasured.
Check cash timing and a weaker outcome
TRAINING-0635: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 4 priced units at KSh 500.00 each. Buyer group: Learners who need help organizing work rather than a promised examination result. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 4 x KSh 500.00 = KSh 2,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 1,170.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 830.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 600.00. The invoice balance is KSh 1,400.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 570.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
On full collection, total receipts are KSh 2,000.00. Cash against the selected example bill is KSh 830.00 before other payments. If a hypothetical 10% increase in the largest selected line (Workshop hours) adds KSh 60.00, the unchanged invoice leaves KSh 770.00 against that revised bill.
If the customer instead leaves 10% of the invoice unpaid, KSh 200.00 is a receivable. Cash collected is KSh 1,800.00 and collected cash less the selected bill is KSh 630.00. 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.
