5. Given the details below use the initial case matrix to do the following:
a. Construct a cash budget for Lawrence
b. Tell me what is the largest amount of bank debt needed and when is it needed (5
points each). Circle them in the initial use case on the borrowing line of the matrix
No bank debt would be needed as can be seen from the attached cash budget
c. What is the largest amount of surplus cash flow generated by Lawrence and when
does it happen? (5 points each). Circle them in the initial use case on the net gain cash
line of the matrix
The largest amount of surplus cash flow generated by Lawrence is $7,434,000,
and it occurs in December
Lawrence is analyzing the nature of its cash flows to formulate a proposal for
a new credit management policy.
The pattern of its sales is as follows: January through July and December at
$1,000,000; August at $2,000,000, September and November $3,000,000, and
October at $4,000,000.
Obligations for labor, both direct and indirect, incurred each month are $10,000 per
month plus 20 percent of sales in the current month plus 10 percent of
sales in the following month.
Raw materials purchases are $30,000 plus 20 percent of next months sales.
Estimated quarterly income tax payments of $11,000 are paid in January, April, July,
and October and are one-fourth of the estimated annual current profits.
6. Given the new details below use the revised case matrix to do the following:
Construct a revised cash budget for Lawrence
Tell me what is the largest amount of bank debt needed and when is it needed.
Circle them in the initial use case on the borrowing line of the matrix
No bank debt would be needed as can be seen from the attached cash budget
What is the largest amount of surplus cash flow generated by Lawrence and when
does it happen? Circle them in the initial use case on the net gain cash line of the
matrix.
On the back of the revised case matrix tell me if this revision in credit policy is a
good idea and explain why
The proposed credit policy is a good idea because it will result in an ending cash
balance of $7,534,000 (compared to $7,454,000 under the original policy), this is
in addition to the fact that it will encourage customers to pay faster so to benefit
from the discount. Those funds, however would result in the company having
more cash earlier in the sales (45% in the month of sale as opposed to 10% in the
original policy); the funds can be reinvested to earn the company more cash.
The pattern of its sales is as follows: January through July, and December at
$1,000,000; August at $2,000,000, September and November $3,000,000, and
October at $4,000,000.
The company wants to institute a new credit policy that is 5/10 net 30. Furthermore
all receivable over 30 days delinquent will be assessed a 5% penalty. It is believed
that the revised pattern for Cash received on sales will amount to 45 percent in the
current month of sales, 45 percent in the month following the sales.
Obligations for labor, both direct and indirect, incurred each month are $10,000 per
month plus 20 percent of sales in the current month plus 10 percent of
sales in the following month.
Raw materials purchases are $30,000 plus 20 percent of next months sales.
