A cash budget for Brightside Brewery for January through June of 2021 based on the following information:
Sales:
| November 2020 | $180,000 |
| December | 360,000 |
| January 2021 | 190,000 |
| February | 290,000 |
| March | 210,000 |
| April | 210,000 |
| May | 180,000 |
| June | 230,000 |
| July | 350,000 |
The credit manager says that our collection pattern is as follows:
90% of sales are cash sales
80% of new Accounts Receivable are collected in 30 days
18% of new Accounts Receivable are collected in 60 days
2% of new Accounts Receivable are bad debts and will not be received.
Manufacturing costs are equal to 25% of the following months sales. Brightside takes pride in paying their suppliers in a timely fashion. 85% of Purchases are paid in the same month as the purchase and the balance is paid in the following month.
Monthly selling and administrative expense are as follows: (hintits a cash budget)
| Salaries | $57,000 |
| Wages | 20% of the current months sales |
| Communications | 900 |
| Amortization | 2,300 |
| Rent | 6,200 |
| Utilities | 800 |
| Office Supplies Expense | 250 |
| Interest | 2,800 |
Other cash outlays:
Taxes $18,000 in January and March
Purchase of new equipment $28,900 in February and $18,400 in May
The cash balance on January 1 is $30,000. There is a loan outstanding on January 1 of $31,000. The minimum cash balance is $30,000. Any cash balance exceeding this minimum would be used to pay down the outstanding loan. Any cash balance of over $60,000 will be invested in GICs. A balance between the minimum and the maximum must be maintained.
Dont expect to automate the worksheet 100%. This would require some significant programming in excel (nested =if functions). But do use cell references rather than embedding numbers in formulas (i.e. B5*A2 rather B5*0.10) and use absolute cell addressing when appropriate ($B$5 rather than B5).
