Current Liabilities:

b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated.  For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities.  It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities.  The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position.  It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November.  There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.

schepotkina [342]

Kick start will be totally owned and controlled by memory makers, which makes kick start a subsidiary of memory makers.

<h3>What is a Subsidiary?</h3>

This refers to the branch of a company which performs a different function from the parent company but has the same vision and mission which is to increase profit and sales.
