2022 2023 2024 2025 2026

25,200 27,720 30,492 33,541 36,895

The base demand is pegged at 75 customers per day with the assumption

that they will buy at least 1 box of each pastry in a day. If this number is

multiplied by 7 days, the demand will be 525 customers in a week. If this number

is multiplied by 4 weeks, the demand figure will be 2,100 customers in a month. It

can be gleaned that there will be a total of 25,200 succeeding years that will

increase by 10% per annum.

2022 2023 2024 2025 2026

24,528 26,981 29,679 32,647 35,912

The supply base is pegged at 511 orders of pastries per week; multiplied

by 4 weeks the total supply would be 2,044 orders of pastries per month. From

this, we will multiply it by 12 months, which would arrive at 24,528 orders of

pastries in a year. The succeeding years in this supply table were computed by

increasing supply at 10% per year. We chose a higher increase rate for supply

due to increased competition expected to spur industry growth in the coming

years.
