A1
Zolezzi Incorporated is preparing its cash budget for March. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $30,000. Budgeted cash receipts total $106,000 and budgeted cash disbursements total $93,000. The company can borrow up to $80,000 at any time from a local bank, with interest not due until the following month.
a) Prepare the company's cash budget for March in good form. Make sure to indicate what borrowing, if any, would be needed. The desired ending cash balance is $45,000.
b) Now assume the total cash available is the same as in Part a) but the budgeted cash disbursements were $145,000. How much borrowing would be needed?
Total cash available
Excess (deficiency) of cash available over disbursements
Cash Balance, Ending
Formula:
Total cash available = Cash balance, beginning + Total cash receipts
Excess (deficiency) of cash available over disbursements = Total cash available - Total cash disbursements
Cash Balance, Ending = Total cash available - Total cash disbursements
Supporting calculations:
Total cash available = $30,000 + $106,000 = $136,000
Excess (deficiency) of cash available over disbursements = $136,000 - $93,000 = $43,000
Cash Balance, Ending = $136,000 - $93,000 = $43,000
