The following information relates to the budget: Cash balance, September 1 (from a summer Job) $8,750 Purchase season football tickets in September 160 Additional entertainment for each month Pay fall semester tuition in September 4,600 Pay rent at the beginning of each month Pay for food each month Pay apartment deposit on September 2 (to be returned December 15) Part-time job earnings each month (net of taxes) 1,200 250 600 550 600 Craig Kovar Cash Budget For the Four Months Ending December 31 September October November December Estimated cash receipts from: Part-time job Deposit Total cash receipts Less estimated cash payments for: Season football tickets Additional entertainment Tuition Rent Food Il C Il Il Deposit Total cash payments Cash increase (decrease) Plus cash balance at beginning of month Cash balance at end of month C.
