3 financial statement modeling help!

Hi all,

I'm struggling with a 3 financial statement modeling case study. I've attached my excel file and the given assumption here. I hope you can help me out.

I have 3 main problems:

  1. The VAT: I was given the price including VAT to model the P&L. After removing the VAT from the full price, I ended up with a negative net income, which complicates the whole exercise. I am not sure if I did the P&L correctly and that's where I'm stuck. Could you take a look at my P&L and give me some feedbacks on it?

  2. Regarding debt: They only mentioned the amount oustanding in 2020. Should I interpret that as end of 2020? If so, how should I estimate the interest expense in 2020?

  3. I should define the level of cash in 2020 using my own assumptions. What is appropriate cash balance for such business? 2 months of revenue?

Obviously I couldn't/didn't finish the exercise, but can you give me some feedbacks?
