12.1 Sources and Uses of Cash
• Cash is considered to be the life-blood of a business. Cash shortages can be stifling and expensive while excesses can lead to poor returns.
• Since most businesses do not function on a pure 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.

12.1 Sources and Uses of Cash (continued)
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) 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 and January.

12.2 (A) Cash Inflow from Sales (continued)
Managers often figure in a small percentage of the forecasted sales as bad debts when preparing a cash budget.

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.).
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-11
12.3 Cash Outflow from Production
• The magnitude and timing of the various cash disbursements of a firm depends 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. Accounts payables for materials and supplies; 2. Salaries, wages, taxes, other operating expenses; 3. Capital expenditures for plant, equipment, and
machinery; and 4. Dividends, interest and floatation cost payments
related to 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.

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).
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-15
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. 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, and
– The projected sales for the coming year.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 12-17
12.5 Planning with Pro Forma Financial Statements (continued)
• The percentage of each item either to sales (income statement) or to total assets (balance sheet) is computed for the prior year and then multiplied by the projected sales (income statement) or total assets (balance sheet) 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 is $100m. 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%$120mCash would be forecasted to be 0.02*120m = $2.4m.

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 which are obviously either constant each
period, or which vary at a different rate (for whatever reason) are accordingly adjusted for by the financial manager.
If total assets exceed total liabilities and owner’s
equity, external financing is allocated according to some pre-determined ratio to serve as the plug variable.

Sales Forecast: You have been asked to forecast sales for the coming year. Being convinced that the compound average growth rate is the best way to forecast growth, you collect data for the prior three years as listed below. Using the data compute the compound growth rate for each of the years and then forecast next year’s sales by using the two-year average growth rate.

Additional Problems with Answers Problem 1 (Answer)
g = (ending value / beginning value)1 / number of years -1– 1
2010 growth rate =[ (2010 Sales/2009 sales)] -1 = (1.75m/1.2m) -1
2010 growth rate = 45.83%
2011 growth rate = [ (2011 Sales/2010 sales)] -1 = (2.1m/1.75m) -1
2011 growth rate 20%
2-year average growth rate = (2011 Sales/2009 Sales)1/2 =1= (2.1m/1.2m)1/2 -1
2-year average growth rate =32.29%
2012 Sales Forecast =$ 2,100,000*(1.3229) = $2,778,090

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 2011 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 2011 production, and in what months does it occur?
Assume that the sales forecast for December 2011 is $2,500,000

Additional Problems with Answers Problem 3 (Answer)
Unit Sales forecast for December 2011 = $2,500,000/$2.5
1 million units
Safety stock required = 15% of December sales = 150,000 units
Beginning Inventory (October 2011) = 120,000 units
Production needed in October = Dec. ‘09 Sales + Safety Stock – Beg. Inventory
Production needed in October = 1,000,000 + 150,000 – 120,000=970,000 units
Cost of Production (Oct. 2011) = 970,000*$1.50= $1,455,000
Labor cost = 0.60*$1,455,000 = $873,000 paid in October 2011
Shipping cost = 0.10*$1,455,000 = $145,500 paid in November 2011
Material cost = 0.30*$1,455,000 = $436,500 paid in September 2011

Next year, the firm will increase its Plant, Property, and Equipment (PPE) by $7,000,000 with a plant expansion.
The inventories will grow by 70%, but accounts payables will grow by 60%, and marketable securities will be reduced by 50% to help finance the expansion.
If all other asset accounts remain the same and long-term debt will be used to finance the remaining costs of the expansion (no change in common stock or retained earnings), prepare a pro forma balance sheet for 2012. How much additional debt will be estimated using this pro forma balance sheet?

Additional Problems with Answers Problem 5 (Answer)
Start by changing the known asset accounts and then total up assets. Then use the total assets for total liabilities and owner’s equity balance. Finally, make the required change in long-term debt to balance the balance sheet.
i.e. PPE will be $8,500,000+$7,000,000 = $15,500,000
Inventories = 70% higher (1.7)*2500000=4,250,000
Accounts payables = 60% higher 5,125,000*1.6=8,200,000
Marketable Securities = 50% lower = 830,000*.5 415,000
