There is an excel format example of the cash budget in the week 4 required section. This excel spreadsheet can be used as a general template for preparing your homework assignment. Remember that the example spreadsheet will have different data and timing of various cash flows.
Assignment:
1. Create a monthly cash budget that contains four separate sections (which are shown in the online lecture example and also in the excel spreadsheet example). The four sections are Key Assumptions, Cash Budget, Working Capital Loan, and Summary of cash flows. The four sections should be in the same order as shown in the excel example and in the online lecture. The cash budget should cover 12 months starting with January and ending in December. (10 points for setting up the four sections)
2. Create a 12-month cash budget with the four sections that does not include a working capital loan. Use the data and information provided above. Your working capital loan section will be blank or zero. (25 points)
3. Add a working capital loan of 50,000 dollars in June and repayment of the entire 50,000 dollar balance in October. Show all four sections of the cash budget with the working capital loan information included. (15 points)
Please post your results in an excel format attachment in the assignments section by midnight of the last day of the week in which it is assigned.
