Did anyone calculate and use capacity utilisation for the Q about the effectiveness of the new plan in section 1? And if so what figures and assumptions did you get?

Can't really remember now but I gave a sum of like £122,222 is what the customers owed and how that would make a significance to the cash flow problems. And I also said how by selling the shop the company would find it difficult to reach out to its limited number of customers. What about you?

Yeah for capacity utilisation i got 95% for 2016 and 78% for january 2017 as they were going ahead with the additional 1.2million meals in 2017

I think i slipped up here i got 91% for 2016! i wonder will this affect my mark? I also got 78% for 2017 and made the assumption then, that the new plan perhaps is too extensive as it will have a lower capacity utilisation of 78% which therefore suggests resources and are being wasted.

yeah that stunned me a bit, did the sale and leaseback point and then said however reducing credit terms to the customers to bring in more cash and improve liquidity etc etc


Yeah exactly what i said gj
