Chapter 2:Cash Budget
Cash Budget
Definition Detailed forecast of cash inflows and outflows for a future time period, incorporating revenue and capital items and other cash flow items.
PurposeProvide an early warning of liquidity problems and funding needs.
OBJECTIVES
To provide early warning of liquidity problem. So, that we can:
1. Estimate and plan future cash shortage or surplus.
2. As reference point to monitoring cash flows.
3. Set borrowing limits and min cost of funds.4. Max interest earnings5. Liquidity management
CORRECTIVE ACTION• Sales of short term investment• Short term borrowing• Defer some cash spending such as capital
expenditure• Improve collections of outstanding debts• Ask major suppliers to agree on more credit terms• Improve cash flows by cutting day-to-day
expenditure
TYPES OF CASH BUDGET
There are two types of cash budget:
1. Receipts and payments budget
2. Balance sheet forecast
BALANCE SHEET FORECAST
Forecast future balance sheet at the specific forecast date.What may require:
1. Of non-current assets (acquisition & disposal)
2. Future inventory 3. Future receivables Level4. Future payables5. in shared capital and long term funding6. in retained profit
BALANCE SHEET FORECAST
Apple Co. has the following balance sheet as at 30 May 2012:
Non Current Assets RM RMPlant and Machinery 192,000
Current assetsInventory 16,000Receivables 80,000Bank 2,000 98,000Total assets 290,000
Issured share capital 216,000Accumulated profits 34,000
250,000
Shareholders fundsCurrent liabilities Dividend payable 10,000 Trade Payable 30,000 40,000Total Equity and liabilities 290,000
The company expects to acquire further plant and machinery costing RM 8,000 during the year to 30 June 2012.
a. The levels of inventory and trade receivables are expected to increase by 5% and 10% respectively by 30 June 2012 due to business growth.
b. Trade payables and dividend liabilities are expected to be the same at 30 June 2012.
c. No share issue is planned, and accumulated profits for the year to 30 June 2012 are expected to be RM 42,000.
d. Plant and Machinery is depreciated on a reducing balance basis at the rate of 20% per annum for all assets held at balance sheet date.
Produce balance sheet forecast as at 30 June 2012 and predict what the cash balance or bank overdraft will be at that date.

Cash Budget for (period)
PREPARING A CASH BUDGET
It is based on receipts and payments. The most complex calculations is receipts from sales and payments to suppliers.
RECEIPTS FROM SALES
Business might have some cash sales, but mostly on credit. To prepare cash budget, assumptions:• When customers will pay• The level of bad (irrecoverable) debts
ExampleEstimated 10% of its sales will be cash sales, and the remainder credit sales. Also 50% of credit customers will pay in the month following sale, 30% two months after sale, 15% three months after sale and bad debts will be 5% of credit sales.
Total sales figures are as follows:Month RMOctober 80,000November 60,000December 40,000January 50,000February 60,000March 90,000
Required:
Prepare a month by month budget of cash receipts from sales for the months January to March.

Let’s calculate Activity One
Page 23 together.
PAYMENTS TO SUPPLIERS FOR WAGES AND SALARIES Similar way of calculating to the cash receipts, need to figures for:
• Purchases in each time period.• Estimates amount of credit taken from suppliers.
Three types of payment is:
1. Payment for material purchases2. Payment of wages and salaries3. Payments for overheads expenses
EXAMPLE: PAYMENTS FOR MATERIAL PURCHASESA manufacturing business makes and sell widgets. Each widgets requires two units of raw materials, which cost RM 3 each. Production and sales quantities of widgets each month are as follows:
In the past, the business has maintained its inventory of raw material at 100,000 units. However, it plans to increase raw material inventory to 110,000 units at the end of January and 120,000 units at the end of February. The business takes one month’s credit from it’s suppliers.
Required:Calculate the budgeted payments to suppliers each month for raw material purchases.
Month Sales and production

Example of Overhead PaymentsA manufacturing company makes product APPLE, for which the variable overhead cost is RM 2 per unit. Fixed costs are budgeted at RM 450,000 for the year, of which RM 130,000 are depreciation charges. The remaining fixed costs are incurred at a constant rate every month, with the exception of factory rental costs, which are RM 80,000 each year, payable 50% in December and 50% in June.
With exception of rental cost, 10% of overhead expenses are paid for in the month they occur and the remaining are paid in following month.
The budgeted production quantities of product APPLE are:Months Units

Sensitivity Analysis• Is a modeling and risk assessment procedure in
which changes are made to significant variables in order to determine the effect of these changes on the planned outcome.
• Test the ‘responsiveness’ of a forecast to see how sensitive they are to changes in inputs.
Sensitivity Analysis
WHY
Budgets are prepared based on assumption and Estimates.
So, it can be
inaccurate
Items for Sensitivity Analysis• Sales- January 2012 the company expects to have $ 15,000 in the bank. Revenue
in Jan expected to be $ 25,000 and growth rate 1.25% p/month is predicted during forecast period.
• Operating Expenses- Buys inventory 1 month in advance and pay in cash. All sales are on credit.
No bad debt.
• Accounts Receivables Days- Payment received from customers, 60% (1 months) and 40% (2 months).
• Accounts Payable Days- Purchases of capital equipment ($200,000- Feb) & payment of tax
($30,000- Mar) & dividends ($ 40,000 – Apr).
• COS & Gross Profit Margin- COS is 65% of revenue. Overhead cost expected to be & 6,500 p/month
and rising by 5% at start of each new calendar year.
• Interest Rate- Loans officer has advice the company that the interest rate of bank overdraft is 1.65% p/month.
Alternative Methods• Preparing a series of different forecast-different
scenario.• Preparing cash forecasts as a range of possible
outcomes.• Using probability analysis.
Forecasting with Inflation
Inflation : Process the price of commodities rises over time. Inflation usually measured as percentage. Example, rate of inflation is 20% a year, purchases worth $ 10,000 last year and this year it will cost $ 12,000. So at the same inflation rate next year it will cost $ 14,400.
Index number: rate of change of variable specified time to another. There are two types of index:1. Price relative - changes in price of items over the time.2. Quantity relative – changes in quantity over the time.
