The COVENTRADE CORP. has sought your assistance in preparing its cash budget for next year’s
operations and provides you with the following information:
Dividends (130,000)
The corporation has adopted the policy of requiring a minimum cash balance equal to 40% of
the succeeding quarter’s requirements for operations. Beginning cash balance is P 60,000 and desired
year-end balance is P 15,000.
One year 15% bank loans may be obtained (in multiples of P 5,000) at the start of the quarter
with interest payable at the end of the same period. In case the cash balance exceeds 160% of the
required minimum balance, the difference (in multiples of P 50,000) may be placed in commercial
papers (qualified as cash equivalents) at the start of the succeeding quarter to earn a minimum of 12%
per annum with interest collectible at the end of the quarter.
