Veronica's Cakes cooks and distributes cakes for every imaginable occasion. Veronica started the company in her house three years ago and has been surprised at her success. She is considering expanding her business and needs to prepare cash budgeting information to present to Westpac Bank to secure a loan. Veronica is not an accountant, so she has asked you to help her to prepare the necessary reports. Veronica's Cakes began the month

with a bank balance of $20000. The budgeted sales for March to June are as follows:

March April May June

Cash sales $28 000 $33 000 $31 000 $35 000

Sales on account 58 000 60 000 80 000 100 000

Total sales $86 000 $93 000 $111 000 $135 000

Veronica has found that she generally collects payment for credit sales over a two-month period. Typically, 70 per cent is collected in the month of sale and the remainder is collected in the next month. Her policy is to purchase inventory each month equivalent to 60 per cent of that month's budgeted sales. She thinks this provides her sufficient inventory levels to manage unanticipated changes in demand. Veronica's Cakes pays for inventory purchases in the month following purchase. Selling and administrative expenses are budgeted to be 40 per cent of each month's sales. One-half of the selling and administrative expenses is accounted for by depreciation on Veronica's manufacturing equipment.

The company purchased additional manufacturing equipment in April at a cost of $28000. Veronica does not receive a salary, but she does pay herself dividends as company performance allows. The first quarter of the year was very profitable, so Veronica paid herself a dividend of $17 800 in April. Veronica wants to maintain a minimum cash balance of $10000 and has established a line of credit so she can borrow enough money to make up any shortfall. If the company has excess cash on hand at the end of a month (in excess of $10000), the line of credit will be paid back. Interest on the line of credit will not be paid until the end of the year. (Ignore any interest payments that the company would make on their borrowings.)
