Cash budgeting
Helen Bowers, owner of Helen's Fashion Designs, is planning to request a line of credit from her bank. She has estimated the following sales forecasts for the firm for parts of 2014 and 2015:
| May 2014 | $186,000 | |
| June | 186,000 | |
| July | 372,000 | |
| August | 540,000 | |
| September | 720,000 | |
| October | 360,000 | |
| November | 360,000 | |
| December | 90,000 | |
| January 2015 | 180,000 |
Estimates regarding payments obtained from the credit department are as follows: collected within the month of sale, 10%; collected the month following the sale, 75%; collected the second month following the sale, 15%. Payments for labor and raw materials are made the month after these services were provided. Here are the estimated costs of labor plus raw materials:
| May 2014 | $90,000 | |
| June | 90,000 | |
| July | 126,000 | |
| August | 882,000 | |
| September | 306,000 | |
| October | 234,000 | |
| November | 163,000 | |
| December | 90,000 |
General and administrative salaries are approximately $28,000 a month. Lease payments under long-term leases are $9,000 a month. Depreciation charges are $36,000 a month. Miscellaneous expenses are $2,800 a month. Income tax payments of $64,000 are due in September and December. A progress payment of $180,000 on a new design studio must be paid in October. Cash on hand on July 1 will be $132,000, and a minimum cash balance of $90,000 should be maintained throughout the cash budget period.
Prepare a monthly cash budget for the last 6 months of 2014. If no entry required, leave the cell blank. Use minus sign to enter losses, loans outstanding or any other negative amounts.
