(d) Lag in the payment of wages : 1 month.

(e) Cash at bank on 1/4/2023 is estimated at Rs. 12,500.

For full marks, cover: the reading of the data (all sales on credit, collected half in each of the next two months; purchases and wages paid a month later); a schedule of collections from debtors; the cash budget for April, May and June 2023; the overdraft needed at the end of each month; and a conclusion.

Reading the data

  1. The question gives no cash sales, so every sale is taken as a credit sale.
  2. Half of each month's sales is collected in the next month, and half in the month after that.
  3. Purchases are paid for in the month after purchase, so April pays for March's purchases.
  4. Wages are paid a month late, so April pays March's wages.
  5. Cash at bank on 1 April 2023 is 12,500 rupees.

Schedule of collections from debtors

Month of saleSales (Rs)April (Rs)May (Rs)June (Rs)
February90,00045,000

April54,00027,00027,000
May87,00043,500
Total, collections93,00075,00070,500

For example, April collects the second half of February's sales, 90,000 × 50/100 = 45,000. It also collects the first half of March's sales, 96,000 × 50/100 = 48,000. The first half of February's sales came in during March, before the budget period. June's own sales are collected in July and August.

Payment of wages, previous month's wages7,0005,5005,000
Total, payments79,0001,27,0001,28,000
Closing balance (overdraft in brackets)26,500(25,500)(83,000)

Working of the closing balances

  1. April: 1,05,500 - 79,000 = 26,500 in hand.
  2. May: 1,01,500 - 1,27,000 = -25,500, an overdraft of 25,500.
  3. June: -25,500 + 70,500 = 45,000 available, and 45,000 - 1,28,000 = -83,000, an overdraft of 83,000.

Overdraft required

munotes.in 5
Month endBank balance or overdraftOverdraft needed (Rs)
AprilBalance of Rs 26,5000
MayOverdraft25,500
JuneOverdraft83,000

The company is manufacturing mostly for stock. Its purchases rise sharply from April, while collections fall because April's sales were low. So the overdraft grows quickly.

Conclusion. The company needs no overdraft at the end of April, when it has Rs 26,500 at the bank. It needs an overdraft of Rs 25,500 at the end of May and Rs 83,000 at the end of June. It should arrange a limit of at least Rs 83,000 with its bankers for the period.
