Problem:
XYZ Corporation's budgeted monthly sales are $4,500. Forty percent of its customers pay in the first month and take the 1 percent discount. The remaining 60 percent pay in the month following the sale and don't receive a discount. XYZâ??s bad debts are very small and are excluded from this analysis. Purchases for next month's sales are constant each month at $1,200. Other payments for wages, rent, and taxes are constant at $800 per month.
Construct a single month's cash budget with the information given. What is the average cash gain or (loss) during a typical month for XYZ Corporation?
