12.1 Sources and Uses of Cash
• Cash is considered to be the life-blood of a business.
Cash shortages can be problematic while cash excesses
can lead to poor returns.
• Since most businesses do not function on a purely cash
basis, it is critical for them to forecast their needs for
cash in advance.
• The cash budget is the analytical tool that estimates the
future timing of cash inflow and cash outflow and
projects potential shortfalls and surpluses.

TABLE 12.1 Bridge Water Pumps and Filters, Cash Budget for First Six Months
of 2010 ($ in thousands)
Despite setting up a cash reserve, the firm is projected to have cash
shortfalls in 3 months and surpluses in 2 after all cash receipts and
disbursements have been forecasted for the first half of 2010.

12.1 Sources and Uses of Cash
(continued)
Identifying all possible sources and uses of cash is essential for preparing
a useful cash budget. This list can serve as a guide when preparing a cash
budget.

12.2 Cash Budgeting and the Sales
Forecast
Sales revenue base variable driving almost all
other items in the cash budget, Must forecast
sales as objectively as possible.
There is usually a time lag between when a sale
is made and when the cash receipts come
inMust keep track of collections time-line.
Need internal data (information that is
proprietary or unique to the firm) as well as
external data (publicly available information)
as sources for objective sales forecasts.

12.2 (A) Cash Inflow from Sales
• Firms typically sell products and services
partially for cash and partially on credit.
• An analysis of a firm’s collection policy can
help project cash inflow from sales.
• It is quite common for firms to collect
some of their receivables in the 2 months
following the sale, i.e., November 2008’s
credit sales will be partially collected in
December 2008 and January 2009.

Sales: January, February, and March 2009 Cash Flow Estimates
Managers often figure in a small percentage of the forecasted
sales as bad debts when preparing a cash budget.

12-9
12.2 (B) Other Cash Receipts
• Besides sales, which are the main
contributor to a firm’s cash inflow, need to
forecast the timing and magnitude of other
occasional sources of cash such as
– asset sales,
– funds raised through issuance and sale of
securities, and
– income earned on investments (dividends,
interest, etc.)
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
12-10
12.3 Cash Outflow from Production
• The magnitude and timing of the various cash
disbursements of a firm depend mainly on forecasted
sales.
– Payments for raw materials, labor costs, overheads such
as utilities and rent, shipping costs, etc.
• Like sales, there is often a time lag between when the firm
receives and records the benefit, and when it actually
makes the payment for it.
• The cash budget can be used as a handy planning
document to keep track of the projected disbursements.
• Depreciation is merely a tax write-off, not a cash
disbursement, so should not be included in a cash budget.

12.4 The Cash Forecast: Short-Term
Deficits and Short-term Surpluses
The main objective of developing a cash budget  Firm has
sufficient cash available from its revenues and other receipts to
cover its periodic cash disbursements such as:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Accounts payables for materials and supplies
Salaries, wages, taxes, and other operating expenses
Capital expenditures for plant, equipment, and machinery
Dividends, interest, and flotation cost payments related to the
raising and servicing of capital
Over a short planning cycle, the total periodic cash inflow rarely
matches the total periodic outflow, seasonal fluctuations and
time lags.
This results in forecasted cash deficits and cash surpluses in
certain periods.

12.4 (A) Funding Cash Deficits
Cash shortfalls can be handled in 4 ways:
1. Cash from savings
2. Unsecured loans (letters of credit)
3. Secured loans (using accounts receivable or
inventories)
4. Other sources (commercial paper, trade credit,
or banker’s acceptance).

12-14
12.4 (B) Investing Cash Surpluses
When a company has excess funds, it has
4 options:
1. Put the surplus in a savings account or invest
it in marketable securities.
2. Repay lenders and owners (retire debt early
or pay extra dividends).
3. Replace aging assets.
4. Invest in the company, accepting positive net
present value projects

12.5 Planning with Pro Forma
Financial Statements
• Cash budgeting is only one aspect of short-term
financial planning. It is equally important for firms
to forecast their operating cash flow and net income
for the forthcoming period by developing pro forma
financial statements.
• There are a variety of ways to produce pro forma
statements, but the statements usually rely on two
primary inputs:
– The prior year’s financial statements and the relationship
of the account balances to each other
– The projected sales for the coming year
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
12-16
12.5 Planning with Pro Forma
Financial Statements (continued)
• We use the prior year’s financial statements to find the
relative percentage of each line either to sales (income
statement) or to total assets (balance sheet). We then
multiply the percentages of each item to forecast sales
or forecast total assets for the coming year to develop
pro forma financial statements.
– For example, let’s say that the cash balance for the prior
year is $2 million and the total assets are $100 million.
So cash is 2% of total assets.
– For the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, we would forecast
cash as 2% of the forecasted total assets as well, i.e., if
total assets are forecasted to increase by
20%$120mCash would be forecasted to be
.02*120m = $24m.

12.5 (A) Pro Forma Income
Statement (continued)
Figure 12.4
This approach, although a good
first step, is often too simplistic
in reality because many financial
statement items do not vary
proportionately with sales. In
particular, depreciation
decreases over time and cost of
goods sold often declines due to
economies of scale. The
manager would have to fine-tune
the forecasted values to make
them more in line with reality.

12-19
12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet
Each prior year’s balance sheet item is expressed as a
percent of total assets, and then multiplied by the
forecasted total assets figure for the next period.
Items that are obviously constant each period or that
vary at a different rate (for whatever reason) are
accordingly adjusted for by the financial manager.
If total assets exceed total liabilities and owners’ equity,
external financing is allocated according to some
predetermined ratio to serve as the plug variable.

12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet
(continued)
Based on the following assumptions, a pro forma balance
sheet is developed as shown in Figure 12.6.
• Net fixed assets will increase by $500,00 (capital
expenditure).
• Cash balance account will be at $150,000.
• Accounts receivables will be 6% of forecasted sales,
or $305,000.
• Total inventories will be 15% of prior year’s sales,
$4,800,000, with one-third in raw materials and
two-thirds in finished goods.
• All new financing will be long-term debt.
• Increase in retained earnings will be $380,000
(from the pro forma income statement).
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
12-22
12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet
(continued)
Key calculations include the following:
• Cash is $150,000.
• Accounts receivable is $305,280 ($5,088,000  0.06 = $305,280),
rounded to $305,000.
• Total inventory is $720,000 ($4,800,000  0.15 = $720,000).
• Raw materials are one-third of total inventory ($720,000  1/3 =
$240,000).
• Finished goods are two-thirds of total inventory ($720,000  2/3 =
$480,000).
Net fixed assets are $4,953,000 + $500,000 = $5,453,000.
The total assets will now be $6,628,000.
Fill in the liabilities based on the same percentages as those of last
year except for the common stock, which will not change (all new
financing is debt); a targeted reduction in accounts payable to 5%
of assets; and an increase in retained earnings ($380,000)
projected by the pro forma income statement:
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
12-23
12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet
(continued)
• Accounts payable will be reduced to 5.0% of $6,628,000, or
$331,400 (round to $331,000).
• Taxes payable will be 4.00% of $6,628,000, or $265,120
(round to $265,000).
• Retained earnings will be $380,000 + $2,688,000 =
$3,068,000.
• Common stock will remain at $62,000.
So, for the balance sheet to balance, long-term debt must
be $2,902,000 ($6,628 – $331 – $265 – $62 – $3,068 =
$2,902). Therefore, the long-term debt account needs to
increase by $200,000 ($2,902,000 – $2,702,000). To
complete the $500,000 funding for the project, outside
funding of $200,000 will be needed; the other funding will
come from internal funding sources.

Sales Receipts: The financial manager of Hearty Cereals is in the
process of preparing a cash budget for the first quarter of 2010. The
firm typically sells 1/3 of its monthly sales on cash terms and the rest
on credit. An analysis of the accounts receivable shows that on
average, 40% of the sales are collected in the next month, 50% in 60
days, and 7% in 90 days, with the rest ending up as bad debts. As
the manager’s assistant it is your job to project the sales receipts for
the first quarter of 2010, using the monthly sales figures listed below.

Problem 3
Production cash outflow: The Creative Products Corporation
produces its products two months in advance of anticipated
sales and ships to warehouse centers the month before sale.
The inventory safety stock is 15% of the anticipated month’s
sale.
Beginning inventory in October 2009 was 120,000 units. Each
unit costs $1.50 to make. The average selling price is $2.50 per
unit. The cost is made up of 60% labor, 30% materials, and
10% shipping (to warehouse).
Labor is paid the month of production, shipping the month after
production, and raw materials the month prior to production.
What is the production cash outflow for the month of October
2009 production, and in what months does it occur?
Assume that the sales forecast for December 2009 is
$2,500,000.
