Master Budget
A master budget can be defined as an estimation of the revenue earned or expenses incurred over a specified period of time in the future and it is generally prepared on a periodic basis which can be either monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. It helps a business, an organization, or even an individual to manage the money effectively. A budget also helps in monitoring the performance of the people in the organization and helps in better decision-making.

month following the sale. The June 30 balance sheet includes balances of $43,000 in cash and $4,600 in loans payable.
A minimum cash balance of $43,000 is required. Loans are obtained at the end of any month when the preliminary cash
balance is below $43,000. Interest is 1% per month based on the beginning-of-the-month loan balance and is paid at each
month-end. Any preliminary cash balance above $43,000 is used to repay loans at month-end. Expenses are paid in the
month incurred and consist of sales commissions (10% of sales), office salaries ($3,600 per month), and rent ($6,100 per
month).
