2.1 Arranging Debt and Receivable Budget

 Arranging Receivable Budget


To make it easier to understand how to make a debt account, the following will be explained
using a case.
The company's sales plan for 2019 is as follows:
Quarter Sales (in Rupiah)
Quarter I 75,000,000,00
Quarter II 85,000,000,00
Quarter III 100,000,000,00
Quarter IV 140,000,000,00

Based on existing sales plan data, credit sales for a one-month period are 30%. Cash sales
will be given a discount or a 5% discount.
The pattern of receipt of accounts receivable based on the previous period is:
1. According to the agreement of 80%
2. Received in the next quarter by 20%
3. Estimated bad debt or uncollectible receivables of 1%
Other supporting data information:
Sales in the previous period, namely in quarter 3 of 2018 = 90,000,000 and quarter 4 of 2018
= 100,000,000
Then from the information above, you are asked to compile the budget for receivables and
cash in 2019. The methods are as follows:
1. Calculating cash receipts and sales

Quarter Sales Discount 5% Revenue


2.2 Calculating the budget for receivables in 2019

be used this means that each company has the freedom to determine the form and format in
accordance with the circumstances of each company.
Based on the payment terms offered by comment material suppliers for 2003, namely:
5/10. n / 30, PT. Mayura sets the policy for purchasing raw materials as follows:
1. As much as 40% of the purchase transaction is made in cash so that it receives a purchase
discount
2. As much as 20% of the purchase transaction, made on credit with repayment made on the
same month as the month the purchase transaction took place, and before the 10 day
deadline, so that it will receive a purchase discount
3. As much as 30% of the purchase transaction is carried out on a redemptive basis made in
the same month as the month the purchase transaction took place, but the deadline is 10
days, so it will not accept the purchase discount.
Thus, for example, the budget for purchasing raw materials for 2003 is as follows:
PT Mayura

3. 1 Preparing Cash Budget

Cash budget is a schedule that is arranged in detail about the cash inflows and
outflows in a certain period for the future. A cash budget can protect a company from being
unprepared for seasonal fluctuations in cash flow or prepare a company to take advantage of
unexpected quantity discounts from suppliers. A cash budget also allows you to evaluate and
plan for your capital needs. The cash budget will help you assess whether there are periods
during your operations cycle when you might need short-term borrowing. It will also help
you assess any long-term borrowing needs. Basically, a cash budget is a planning tool for
management decisions.

There are three main components necessary for creating a cash budget:

1) Time Period

The first decision to make when preparing a cash budget is to decide the period of
time for which your budget will apply. Time period of cash budget could be 3 months,
6 months, or a year.

2) Cash Position

The amount of cash you wish to keep on hand will depend on the nature of your
business, the predictability of accounts receivable, and the probability of fast-
happening opportunities (or unfortunate occurrences) that may require you to have a
significant reserve of cash.

3) Estimated Sales and Expenses

The fundamental concept of a cash budget is estimating all future cash receipts and
cash expenditures that will take place during the time period. The most important
estimate you will make, however, is an estimate of sales. Once this is decided, the rest
of the cash budget can fall into place. Estimated amount should be based the owner’s
experience running the business and goals for the business over the time frame for which
the budget is being created.
Basic formula of cash budget is shown below:

Beginning cash for the period


+ Cash Receipt (ingoing cash flow)
- Cash Payment (outgoing cash flow)
= Ending cash for the period

Categories of cash receipts and cash payment that should be considered in preparing
cash budget are:

Cash balance, cash sales,


Expected Cash Receipt collections of accounts
receivable, other income
Expected Cash Raw material (inventory),
Expenses payroll
Advertising, selling
expenses, administrative
Other Direct Expenses expense, plant and
equipment expenditures,
other payments
