Case Study
Toy World, Inc.
Summary
I have been hired by Toy World’s treasurer Grace Jones, as her assistant, and have been given the task of preparing a cash budget for the CEO Dan Culbreth. I have been told to do a monthly budget for January to June and a daily budget for the month of January. I’m required to have this cash budget done by Sunday for a meeting with Dan and Grace. Dan will then be presenting the budget in his meeting about loan requirements, with the bankers on Monday.
Assumptions
Forecasts will not exceed a plus or minus 5% range.
