11、 inflows,outflows,and ending cash balances to predict loan needs and funds available for temporary investment.nTiming:Daily,weekly,or monthly,depending upon budgets purpose.Monthly for annual planning,daily for actual cash management.16-14Data Required for Cash Budget1.Sales forecast.2.Information o

16、rest paid:Add line in the payments section.nFound as interest rate x surplus/loan line of cash budget for preceding month.nNote:Interest on any other debt would need to be incorporated as well.16-20How could bad debts be worked into the cash budget?nCollections would be reduced by the amount of bad

17、debt losses.nFor example,if the firm had 3%bad debt losses,collections would total only 97%of sales.nLower collections would lead to lower surpluses and higher borrowing requirements.16-21SKIs forecasted cash budgetindicates that the companys cash holdings will exceed the targetedcash balance every

18、month,except for October and November.nCash budget indicates the company probably is holding too much cash.nSKI could improve its EVA by either investing its excess cash in more productive assets or by paying it out to the firms shareholders.16-22What reasons might SKI have for maintaining a relativ

19、elyhigh amount of cash?nIf sales turn out to be considerably less than expected,SKI could face a cash shortfall.nA company may choose to hold large amounts of cash if it does not have much faith in its sales forecast,or if it is very conservative.nThe cash may be there,in part,to fund a planned fixe

22、osts which reduces its NOPAT.Moreover,the excess inventory must be financed,so EVA is further lowered.16-25If SKI reduces its inventory,without adversely affecting sales,what effect will this have on its cash position?nShort run:Cash will increase as inventory purchases decline.nLong run:Company is

23、likely to then take steps to reduce its cash holdings.16-26Accounts Receivable Management:Do SKIs customers pay more or less promptly than those of its competitors?nSKIs days sales outstanding(DSO)of 45.6 days is well above the industry average(32 days).nSKIs customers are paying less promptly.nSKI
