ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM ON CASH BUDGET

The COVENTRADE CORP. has sought your assistance in preparing its cash budget for next year’s
operations and provides you with the following information:

1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter

Budgeted Cash Disbursement P 190,000 300,000 200,000 250,000


for operation

Budgeted Net Cash from 60,000 130,000 200,000 250,000


operations

Purchase of Land (150,000)

Sale of Building 80,000

Dividends (130,000)

Redemption of Bonds (200,000)

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.

Required: Cash budget with supporting schedule.
