Delight Spreads (Pty) Ltd (DS) is a small enterprise that produces and sells two types of macadamia-nut
spreads; macadamia natural spread (MNS) and macadamia sweet spread (MSS). The losses which occur
in the production process are considered immaterial. Each type of spread is packed and sold in a glass
bottle containing 250g of spread. These bottled-spreads are mainly sold at food markets and other flea
markets.

responsible for the production function while Sibongile is responsible for the marketing, procurement,
finance and administrative functions. The three friends approved the following budget:
