Chapter 08 – Lecture Notes

1. The first step in preparing this budget is to
calculate the total cash available ($210,000).
Notice:
a. The cash collections for April
($170,000) come from the schedule
of expected cash collections.
2. The second step is to calculate the total cash
disbursements ($230,000). Notice:
a. Each cash disbursement, except
dividends, comes from a schedule or
budget that had already been
prepared.
3. The third step is to calculate the excess
(deficiency) of cash available over
disbursements ($20,000).
4. The fourth step is to determine the
financing requirements and the ending cash
balance. Notice:
a. Because Royal maintains a $30,000
cash balance, it must borrow
$50,000 on its line-of-credit.
b. The ending cash balance ($30,000)
coincides with Royal’s minimum
requirement.
c. The ending cash balance for April
will carry forward to become the
beginning balance for May.
5. These four steps are repeated for the month
of May. The result is a $30,000 excess of
cash available over disbursements for May.
a. Since Royal must maintain a
minimum cash balance of $30,000, it
will not repay any of its loan in May.
