credit and 60% is paid in the month of purchase and 40% in the month following purchase.
Budgeted inventory purchases are:
June
$45,000
July
43,000
August
40,000
Other cash disbursements budgeted: selling and administrative expenses of $14,000 each
month, dividends of $30,000 will be paid in July, and purchase of a computer in August for $3,000
cash.
The company wishes to maintain a minimum cash balance of $20,000 at the end of each month.
The company borrows money from the bank at 9% interest if necessary to maintain the minimum
cash balance. Borrowed money is repaid in months when there is an excess cash balance. The
beginning cash balance on July 1 was $25,000. All amounts borrowed during a month are
borrowed on the first day. The loan balance as of July 1 is $26,000.
Instructions
Prepare a cash budget for the month of July. Prepare separate schedules for expected collections
from customers and expected payments for purchases of inventory.
