Q No 5 The opening cash balance on 1st Jan was expected to be Rs. 30,000. The sales budget was as follows:

November                               Rs.       80,000

December                                            90,000

January                                                75,000

February                                              75000

March                                                  80000

 

Analysis of records shows that debtors settle according to the following pattern: 60% within the month of sales, 25% the month following, 15% the month following.

 

Extracts from the purchases budget were as follows:

December                                Rs.60000

January                                         55000

February                                       45000

March                                           55000

All purchases are on credit and experience shows that 90% are settled in the month of purchases and the balance settled the month after.

Wages are Rs.15000 per month and overheads of Rs.20,000 per month (including Rs.5000 depreciation) are settled monthly.

Taxation of Rs.8000 must be settled in February and the company will receive a settlement of an insurance claim of Rs.25000 in March.
