Question

In a previous question, Big City Manufacturing (BCM) assumed that all credit sales were paid in full, with no bad debt expense. For this problem, please assume that bad debt expense is again 0% for BCM. Purchases for next month's sales are 50% of projected sales for the next month, and April sales are estimated to be $495,000; purchases for April are paid in cash in March. "Other payments," which include wages, rent, and taxes, are 25% of sales for the current month. Construct a cash budget for March using your expected cash receipts from problem 7 and calculate the average net cash flow during the month of March. Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places. Do not enter $ or comma in the answer box. For example, if your answer is $12,300.456 then enter as 12300.46 in the answer box.

Previous Question: Big City Manufacturing (BCM) is preparing its cash budget and expects to have sales of $450,000 in January, $375,000 in February, and $555,000 in March. If 20% of the sales are for cash, 45% are credit sales paid in the month after the sale, and another 35% are credit sales paid 2 months after the sale, what are the expected cash receipts for March?

Answer 1

Cash Budget
Expected Cash Receipts	437,250
Less: Purchases	247,500
Other Payments	138,750
Net Cash flow	51,000

Hence, average net cash flow will be $51,000
