Cash shortages can be problematic while cash excesses can lead to poor returns. Since most businesses do not function on a purely cash basis, it is critical for them to forecast their needs for cash in advance. The cash budget is the analytical tool that estimates the future timing of cash inflow and cash outflow and projects potential shortfalls and surpluses.

All rights reserved. 12-4 Despite setting up a cash reserve, the firm is projected to have cash shortfalls in 3 months and surpluses in 2 after all cash receipts and disbursements have been forecasted for the first half of 2010. 12.1 Sources and Uses of Cash (continued) TABLE 12.1 Bridge Water Pumps and Filters, Cash Budget for First Six Months of 2010 ($ in thousands)

This list can serve as a guide when preparing a cash budget. 12.1 Sources and Uses of Cash (continued) FIGURE 12.1 Cash inflows and cash outflows for a company.

All rights reserved. 12-6 12.2 Cash Budgeting and the Sales Forecast Sales revenue  base variable driving almost all other items in the cash budget,  Must forecast sales as objectively as possible. There is usually a time lag between when a sale is made and when the cash receipts come in  Must keep track of collections time-line. Need internal data (information that is proprietary or unique to the firm) as well as external data (publicly available information) as sources for objective sales forecasts.

8 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-8 12.2 (A) Cash Inflow from Sales Firms typically sell products and services partially for cash and partially on credit. An analysis of a firm’s collection policy can help project cash inflow from sales. It is quite common for firms to collect some of their receivables in the 2 months following the sale, i.e., November 2008’s credit sales will be partially collected in December 2008 and January 2009.

9 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-9 12.2 (A) Cash Inflow from Sales (continued) Managers often figure in a small percentage of the forecasted sales as bad debts when preparing a cash budget. TABLE 12.2 Bridge Water Pumps and Filters Cash Flow from Sales: January, February, and March 2009 Cash Flow Estimates

10 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-10 12.2 (B) Other Cash Receipts Besides sales, which are the main contributor to a firm’s cash inflow, need to forecast the timing and magnitude of other occasional sources of cash such as – asset sales, –funds raised through issuance and sale of securities, and –income earned on investments (dividends, interest, etc.)

11 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-11 12.3 Cash Outflow from Production The magnitude and timing of the various cash disbursements of a firm depend mainly on forecasted sales. –Payments for raw materials, labor costs, overheads such as utilities and rent, shipping costs, etc. Like sales, there is often a time lag between when the firm receives and records the benefit, and when it actually makes the payment for it. The cash budget can be used as a handy planning document to keep track of the projected disbursements. Depreciation is merely a tax write-off, not a cash disbursement, so should not be included in a cash budgetDepreciation is merely a tax write-off, not a cash disbursement, so should not be included in a cash budget.

12 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-12 12.4 The Cash Forecast: Short-Term Deficits and Short-term Surpluses The main objective of developing a cash budget  Firm has sufficient cash available from its revenues and other receipts to cover its periodic cash disbursements such as: 1.Accounts payables for materials and supplies 2.Salaries, wages, taxes, and other operating expenses 3.Capital expenditures for plant, equipment, and machinery 4.Dividends, interest, and flotation cost payments related to the raising and servicing of capital Over a short planning cycle, the total periodic cash inflow rarely matches the total periodic outflow,  seasonal fluctuations and time lags.  This results in forecasted cash deficits and cash surpluses in certain periods.

14 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-14 12.4 (A) Funding Cash Deficits Cash shortfalls can be handled in 4 ways: 1.Cash from savings 2.Unsecured loans (letters of credit) 3.Secured loans (using accounts receivable or inventories) 4.Other sources (commercial paper, trade credit, or banker’s acceptance).

15 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-15 12.4 (B) Investing Cash Surpluses When a company has excess funds, it has 4 options: 1.Put the surplus in a savings account or invest it in marketable securities. 2.Repay lenders and owners (retire debt early or pay extra dividends). 3.Replace aging assets. 4.Invest in the company, accepting positive net present value projects

16 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-16 12.5 Planning with Pro Forma Financial Statements Cash budgeting is only one aspect of short-term financial planning. It is equally important for firms to forecast their operating cash flow and net income for the forthcoming period by developing pro forma financial statements. There are a variety of ways to produce pro forma statements, but the statements usually rely on two primary inputs: –The prior year’s financial statements and the relationship of the account balances to each other –The projected sales for the coming year

17 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-17 12.5 Planning with Pro Forma Financial Statements (continued) We use the prior year’s financial statements to find the relative percentage of each line either to sales (income statement) or to total assets (balance sheet). We then multiply the percentages of each item to forecast sales or forecast total assets for the coming year to develop pro forma financial statements. –For example, let’s say that the cash balance for the prior year is $2 million and the total assets are $100 million. So cash is 2% of total assets. –For the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, we would forecast cash as 2% of the forecasted total assets as well, i.e., if total assets are forecasted to increase by 20%  $120m  Cash would be forecasted to be.02*120m = $24m.

19 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-19 12.5 (A) Pro Forma Income Statement (continued) This approach, although a good first step, is often too simplistic in reality because many financial statement items do not vary proportionately with sales. In particular, depreciation decreases over time and cost of goods sold often declines due to economies of scale. The manager would have to fine-tune the forecasted values to make them more in line with reality. Figure 12.4

20 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-20 Each prior year’s balance sheet item is expressed as a percent of total assets, and then multiplied by the forecasted total assets figure for the next period. Items that are obviously constant each period or that vary at a different rate (for whatever reason) are accordingly adjusted for by the financial manager. If total assets exceed total liabilities and owners’ equity, external financing is allocated according to some predetermined ratio to serve as the plug variable. 12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet

21 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-21 12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet (continued) Figure 12.5

22 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-22 12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet (continued) Based on the following assumptions, a pro forma balance sheet is developed as shown in Figure 12.6. Net fixed assets will increase by $500,00 (capital expenditure). Cash balance account will be at $150,000. Accounts receivables will be 6% of forecasted sales, or $305,000. Total inventories will be 15% of prior year’s sales, $4,800,000, with one-third in raw materials and two-thirds in finished goods. All new financing will be long-term debt. Increase in retained earnings will be $380,000 (from the pro forma income statement).

23 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-23 12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet (continued) Key calculations include the following: Cash is $150,000. Accounts receivable is $305,280 ($5,088,000  0.06 = $305,280), rounded to $305,000. Total inventory is $720,000 ($4,800,000  0.15 = $720,000). Raw materials are one-third of total inventory ($720,000  1/3 = $240,000). Finished goods are two-thirds of total inventory ($720,000  2/3 = $480,000). Net fixed assets are $4,953,000 + $500,000 = $5,453,000. The total assets will now be $6,628,000. Fill in the liabilities based on the same percentages as those of last year except for the common stock, which will not change (all new financing is debt); a targeted reduction in accounts payable to 5% of assets; and an increase in retained earnings ($380,000) projected by the pro forma income statement:

24 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-24 12.5 (B) Pro Forma Balance Sheet (continued) Accounts payable will be reduced to 5.0% of $6,628,000, or $331,400 (round to $331,000). Taxes payable will be 4.00% of $6,628,000, or $265,120 (round to $265,000). Retained earnings will be $380,000 + $2,688,000 = $3,068,000. Common stock will remain at $62,000. So, for the balance sheet to balance, long-term debt must be $2,902,000 ($6,628 – $331 – $265 – $62 – $3,068 = $2,902). Therefore, the long-term debt account needs to increase by $200,000 ($2,902,000 – $2,702,000). To complete the $500,000 funding for the project, outside funding of $200,000 will be needed; the other funding will come from internal funding sources.

The firm typically sells 1/3 of its monthly sales on cash terms and the rest on credit. An analysis of the accounts receivable shows that on average, 40% of the sales are collected in the next month, 50% in 60 days, and 7% in 90 days, with the rest ending up as bad debts. As the manager’s assistant it is your job to project the sales receipts for the first quarter of 2010, using the monthly sales figures listed below. 2009 Sales2010 Forecasted Sales October$1,750,000January$1,850,000 November$2,000,000February$1,650,000 December$2,450,000 March$1,900,000

All rights reserved. 12-32 ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH ANSWERS Problem 3 Production cash outflow: The Creative Products Corporation produces its products two months in advance of anticipated sales and ships to warehouse centers the month before sale. The inventory safety stock is 15% of the anticipated month’s sale. Beginning inventory in October 2009 was 120,000 units. Each unit costs $1.50 to make. The average selling price is $2.50 per unit. The cost is made up of 60% labor, 30% materials, and 10% shipping (to warehouse). Labor is paid the month of production, shipping the month after production, and raw materials the month prior to production. What is the production cash outflow for the month of October 2009 production, and in what months does it occur? Assume that the sales forecast for December 2009 is $2,500,000.

The inventories will grow by 70%, but accounts payables will grow by 60%, and marketable securities will be reduced by 50% to help finance the expansion. If all other asset accounts remain the same and long-term debt will be used to finance the remaining costs of the expansion (no change in common stock or retained earnings), prepare a pro forma balance sheet for 2011. How much additional debt will be estimated using this pro forma balance sheet?

39 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. 12-39 Start by changing the known asset accounts and then total up assets. Then use the total assets for total liabilities and owners’ equity balance. Finally, make the required change in long-term debt to balance the balance sheet. i.e., PPE will be $8,500,000+$7,000,000 = $15,500,000 Inventories = 70% higher  (1.7)*2500000=4,250,000 Accounts payables = 60% higher  5,125,000*1.6=8,200,000 Marketable Securities = 50% lower = 830,000*.5  415,000 ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH ANSWERS Problem 5 (Answer)
