Dear tutor,

Can you please assist me with the homework below:

Question:

Prepare schedules for monthly budgeted cash receipts (10 marks) & cash disbursements (13 marks) & the cash budget (5 marks). During which month will John need to organise a shortterm loan & for how much? (2 marks)

John Smith, a college student, plans to sell CD players over the internet & by mail order during the semester to help pay his expenses. He buys the players for $29 & sells them for $50. If payment by cheque accompanies the mail order (estimated to be 40% of sales), he gives 10% discount. If customers include a credit card number for either internet or mail order (estimated 30% of sales), they receive 5% discount. The remaining collections are estimated as follows:

One month following 15%

Two months following 8%

Three months following 5%

Uncollectable 2%

Sales forecast are as follows:

September 150 units

October 250 units

November 350 units

December 450 units

January Business terminated

John plans to pay his supplier 60% in the month of purchase, and 40% in the following month. A 5% discount is granted on payments made in the month in the month of purchase. However, John will not be able to take any discounts on the September purchases because of cashflow constraints. All September purchases will be paid for in October.

John has 50 players on hand (purchased in August and to be paid in September), and plans to maintain enough end-of-month inventory to meet 60% of the next month's sales. John also wished to maintain a closing cash balance of $1,500 in the bank once the business commences in September. The current interest rate on short term loans is 3.5% pa.
