Solution:
Please download week 11 Example Problems Excel template for the solution to this problem. This problem is located in the Problem 1 tab.
The requirement to cover expenses before sales and the collection of accounts receivable means the firm initially has a cash outflow, which requires temporary borrowing. The redemption of the Treasury bill and the collection of the accounts receivable are used to retire the short-term loans, so the firm has excess cash to invest short-term at the end of the budget period.

Solution:
Please download the week 11 Example Problems Excel template for the solution to this problem. This problem is located in the Problem 2 tab.
The cash budget shows that the firm needs cash during July. Once July has passed, the firm’s cash position improves so the firm can easily retire any short-term loan taken out to cover July’s cash shortage. Then, even though it has a great sales month in November, cash needs are high, so it has to borrow again.
