AE3–2 Cash Budget and Pro Forma Balance Sheet Items Jane McDonald, a financial analyst at
Carroll Company, prepared the following estimates of sales and cash disbursements for the period
February-June of the current year.
McDonald notes that, on record, 30 percent of sales have been in cash. Of credit sales , 70 percent
is collected 1 month after the sale and the remaining 30 percent is collected 2 months after the
sale. The company wants to maintain a minimum ending balance in its cash account of $25.
Balances above this amount would be invested in short-term government securities (marketable
securities), while any shortfall would be financed through short-term bank loans (notes payable).
The beginning cash balance on April 1 is $115.
