He is tired of the long working hours and often finds the job frustrating. He feels that he would have better control over his time if he goes into private practice. He also expects to make more money as a private doctor. He resigned from his job and expects to start his own practice in February 20.9. His plans are as follows:

- Dr. Dougal will rent premises for his surgery. He expects to pay R6,000 per month. When conditions improve later in the year, he hopes to buy his own property.
- In March, he expects to be paid a lump sum benefit of R350,000 from his past employer (Dept. of Health). In this month, he will use these funds as follows:
- R300,000 to settle the bond amount;
- R30,000 to pay for equipment for his surgery. Additional equipment will be purchased on credit during April - a monthly payment of R2,000 will take effect from April.
- The balance will be used to cover expenses.
- He expects to earn R20,000 in February, R30,000 in March, and R40,000 in April.

Let's break down the problem step by step and calculate the required values.

1. January Calculations:

- Total Receipts [tex]\([A]\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Receipts} = \text{Cash Receipts} + \text{Salary} + \text{Interest Income} \][/tex]
Given:
[tex]\[ \text{Cash Receipts} = 30000, \quad \text{Salary} = 1400, \quad \text{Interest Income} = 31400 \][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[ \text{Total Receipts} = 30000 + 1400 + 31400 = 62800 \][/tex]

- Total Payments [tex]\([B]\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Payments} = \text{Household Expenses} + \text{School Fees} + \text{Lease Payment for Car} + \text{Medical Aid} + \text{Pension Fund} + \text{Insurance} + \text{Bond Repayment} \][/tex]
Given:
[tex]\[ \text{Household Expenses} = 3450, \quad \text{School Fees} = 1300, \quad \text{Lease Payment for Car} = 2000, \quad \text{Medical Aid} = 3300, \quad \text{Pension Fund} = 5600, \quad \text{Insurance} = 26550, \quad \text{Bond Repayment} = 4850 \][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[ \text{Total Payments} = 3450 + 1300 + 2000 + 3300 + 5600 + 26550 + 4850 = 47050 \][/tex]

- Balance for January:
[tex]\[ \text{Balance in January} = \text{Total Receipts} - \text{Total Payments} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Balance in January} = 62800 - 47050 = 15750 \][/tex]

2. February Calculations:

- Income and Rent:
Given:
[tex]\[ \text{Income in February} = 20000, \quad \text{Rent Premises} = 6000 \][/tex]

- Balance for February:
[tex]\[ \text{Balance in February} = \text{Income in February} - \text{Rent Premises} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Balance in February} = 20000 - 6000 = 14000 \][/tex]

3. March Calculations:

- Income, Lump Sum, and Major Expenses:
Given:
[tex]\[ \text{Income in March} = 30000, \quad \text{Lump Sum Benefit} = 350000, \quad \text{Bond Settlement} = 300000, \quad \text{Equipment Payment} = 30000, \quad \text{Rent Premises} = 6000 \][/tex]

- Balance for March:
[tex]\[ \text{Balance in March} = \text{Income in March} + \text{Lump Sum Benefit} - \text{Rent Premises} - \text{Bond Settlement} - \text{Equipment Payment} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Balance in March} = 30000 + 350000 - 6000 - 300000 - 30000 = 44000 \][/tex]

4. April Calculations:

- Income and Expenses:
Given:
[tex]\[ \text{Income in April} = 40000, \quad \text{Rent Premises} = 6000, \quad \text{Equipment Payment} = 2000 \][/tex]

- Balance for April:
[tex]\[ \text{Balance in April} = \text{Income in April} - \text{Rent Premises} - \text{Equipment Payment} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Balance in April} = 40000 - 6000 - 2000 = 32000 \][/tex]

To summarize:

- Total Receipts in January: 62800
- Total Payments in January: 47050
- Balance in January: 15750
- Balance in February: 14000
- Balance in March: 44000
- Balance in April: 32000
