Question
Lance Limited manufactures a special component (WKQ 14) that is used in the making of calculators. As a step towards reducing uncertainty over the finance needs of the new business, the finance manager has asked you to prepare a cash budget for Lance Ltd for the eight (8) months period from 1 March 2014 till 31 October 2014.

The estimated selling price per special component is $5.00.
The collections for the above sales forecast are as follows:
i. Collection from customers within the month of sale = 10% ( deemed to be cash sales) ii. Collection from customers following the month of sale = 50% iii. Collection from customers following the second month of sales = 30% iv. 10% of the sales are estimated to become irrecoverable.
b) Direct materials are acquired one month prior to production and are paid the following month of purchase. One special component (WKQ 14) uses 2 units of direct materials. The company keeps stock of the direct materials, equal to 25% of the next months requirements.
