A Rp5 Million Lingerie Budget: Separate Cash Recovery from Profit

Request a model-specific goods quote, confirmed size and colour allocation, packed dimensions and a destination quote. Mark whether each charge includes or excludes taxes and handling. If a freight quote already contains a cost, do not enter it again under another heading.

Set aside a clearly labelled contingency instead of assigning a fabricated standard tax or marketplace fee. Use current bills, account schedules and a qualified local adviser for applicable charges. Cash reserved but unspent is not automatically a product expense.

Illustration only: suppose 100 units cost Rp4,700,000 delivered and ready for sale, all paid upfront. A unit sells for Rp90,000 and incurs Rp10,000 of additional cash selling costs. Net cash received per sale is Rp80,000, so recovering that inventory cash requires 4,700,000 divided by 80,000, rounded up: 59 completed sales.

This simplified cash calculation assumes full collection, no refunds and no additional setup costs. It does not use profit per unit as the denominator, because the inventory cost is already in the upfront amount. Remaining inventory is still inventory, not free merchandise or pure profit.

In the same illustration, inventory cost per unit is Rp47,000. Contribution per unit is 90,000 minus 10,000 minus 47,000, or Rp33,000. If all 100 units sell on those assumptions, contribution is Rp3,300,000 before any additional fixed costs or omitted expenses.

A fixed-cost break-even calculation divides fixed costs by contribution per unit. Do not put the entire inventory purchase in that numerator after also subtracting inventory cost per unit in the denominator. If contribution is zero or negative, selling more on those terms will not cover positive fixed costs.

Check affordability and cash timing separately: when you pay, when stock arrives, when customers pay and when another order must be funded. Include slower sales and refunds as explicit scenarios; do not label an assumed sell-through rate as a measured result.
