Answer:
McCracken's Cash Budget for May:
Beginning Cash balance
Cash Sales: 40% month of sale = $52,000
58% following month of sale = $63,800 $115,800
Cash Purchases: month following purchase = ($85,000)
Selling & Administrative Expenses = ($42,000)
Bank Notes = $27,000
Cash Balance = $15,800
Explanation:
a) Cash Budget is an estimate of the cash receipts and cash payments during a period of time.
b) Depreciation of $8,000 is not a cash payment, so this amount is deducted from the Selling and Administrative Expenses.
c) The bank notes are in multiples of $1,000. To maintain a cash balance of at least $15,000 for each month, McCracken needed to borrow $1,000 bank loan in 27 notes.
