1.
Cash Budget from April to June
April
*Oxygen sales - $8,000 - Credit Card (97%) + Cash (3%) received before end of day
Cash inflow = $8,000
*Service cash inflow - $4,200 - Credit Sales received this month (60%) + $4,000 credit sales received from last month sales (40%)
Cash inflow = $2,520 + $1,600 = $4,120
Total inflow = $12,120
May
*Oxygen sales - $7,500 - Credit Card (97%) + Cash (3%) received before end of day
Cash inflow = $7,500
*Service cash inflow - $4,400 - Credit Sales received this month (60%) + $4,200 credit sales received from last month sales (40%)
Cash inflow = $2,640 + $1,680 = $4,320
Total inflow = $11,820
June
*Oxygen sales - $9,000 - Credit Card (97%) + Cash (3%) received before end of day
Cash inflow = $9,000
*Service cash inflow - $4,600 - Credit Sales received this month (60%) + $4,400 credit sales received from last month sales (40%)
Cash inflow = $2,760 + $1,760 = $4,420
Total inflow = $13,420
2a.
Expected expenditure = $11,000
Deduct: Opening cash Balance = $400
Add: Cash Balance projection = $250
= Minimum Cash inflow from Revenue in May 2018 = $10,850
Actual Cash inflow in May = $11,820
2b.i.
May (adjusted inflow)
*Oxygen sales - $6,750 - Credit Card (97%) + Cash (3%) received before end of day
Cash inflow = $6,750
*Service cash inflow - $3,960 - Credit Sales received this month (60%) + $4,200 credit sales received from last month sales (40%)
Cash inflow = $2,376 + $1,680 = $4,056
Adjusted Cash inflow = $10,806
Note:
Expected expenditure = $11,000
Deduct: Opening cash Balance = $400
Add: Cash Balance projection = $250
= Minimum Cash inflow from Revenue in May 2018 = $10,850
Actual Cash inflow in May (adjusted inflow) = $10,806
2b.ii.
Expected expenditure = $11,550
Deduct: Opening cash Balance = $400
Add: Cash Balance projection = $250
= Minimum Cash inflow from Revenue in May 2018 = $11,400
Actual Cash inflow in May = $11,820
