Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16MC
In an attempt to better understand RR’s cash position, Johnson developed a cash budget for the first 2 months of the year. She has the figures for the other months, but they are not shown. After looking at the cash budget, answer the following questions:
- 1. What does the cash budget show regarding the target cash level?
- 2. Should
depreciation expense be explicitly included in the cash budget? Why or why not? - 3. What are some other potential
cash inflows besides collections? - 4. How can interest earned or paid on short-term securities or loans be incorporated in the cash budget?
- 5. In her preliminary cash budget, Johnson has assumed that all sales are collected and thus that RR has no
bad debts . Is this realistic? If not, how would bad debts be dealt with in a cash budgeting sense? (Hint: Bad debts will affect collections but not purchases.)
