Sharon Feldman, president of Allied Company, considers $46,000 to be a minimum cash balance for operating purposes. As can be seen from the following statements, only $41,000 in cash was available at the end of 2011. Because the company reported a large net income for the year, and also issued bonds and sold some long-term investments, the sharp decline in cash is puzzling to Ms. Feldman. |
