Hi,

I asked this question before,but the answer was unhelpful and I am still stuck.

I was not given instructions on how to solve this problem. I don't know which numbers are to be used to calculate materials purchased. Is it 50 % of a combination of November and December's combined total collections? How is interest calculated? Am I to calculate 10% of capital expenditures and dividends or just enter 10%? Is there a spreadsheet guide that I can purchase that has these answers for how to complete the rest of the form? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Can someone show me how to complete the rest of the spreadsheet?

The historical analysis of the company's sales shows that the company's total sales are 30% cash sales and 70% credit sales. Further analysis of credit sales shows that the company receives 50% of the credit sales one month after the sale and the remaining 50% in the second month after the sale. This means the cash collections from sales are 30% in the first month of the sale, 35% in the second month, and 35% in the third month. The materials purchased by the company amounts to 50% of the sales for the month. The company pays for the purchases one month after the initial purchase. The company likes to maintain a cash balance of $5,000. The cost of borrowing is 10%. The company plans to pay off the loan whenever there is a surplus and borrow when there is a deficit. The attached spreadsheet shows revenues (sales), expenses, capital expenditures, and other expenses for Precision Machines' next six months. Using the information given on the spreadsheet, prepare a cash budget for January through June and determine the cash surplus, deficit, and the financing needs of the company.
