Question

Garden Depot is a retailer that is preparing its budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Management has prepared the following summary of its budgeted cash flows:

  1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter
Total cash receipts $ 270,000 $ 420,000 $ 300,000 $ 320,000
Total cash disbursements $ 323,000 $ 293,000 $ 283,000 $ 303,000

The company’s beginning cash balance for the upcoming fiscal year will be $38,000. The company requires a minimum cash balance of $10,000 and may borrow any amount needed from a local bank at a quarterly interest rate of 3%. The company may borrow any amount at the beginning of any quarter and may repay its loans, or any part of its loans, at the end of any quarter. Interest payments are due on any principal at the time it is repaid. For simplicity, assume that interest is not compounded.

Required:

Prepare the company’s cash budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

Note: Repayments, interest, and cash deficiencies should be indicated by a minus sign.

The table shown represents the "Garden Depot Cash Budget." It is organized into columns based on financial information for each quarter of a fiscal year: 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, 3rd Quarter, 4th Quarter, and the entire year.

Below is an outline of the cash budget components:

1. **Beginning Cash Balance**: This is the starting cash available each quarter and for the year. It is yet to be filled.

2. **Total Cash Receipts**: These entries will include the total incoming cash expected during each quarter and the year.

3. **Total Cash Available**: The sum of the beginning cash balance and total cash receipts. Currently listed as "0" for each quarter and the year.

4. **Total Cash Disbursements**: This is intended to list the total cash paid out during each quarter and the year, yet to be filled.

5. **Excess (Deficiency) of Cash Available Over Disbursements**: This row calculates the balance after disbursements, which is "0" for each quarter and the year.

6. **Financing**:
    - **Borrowings**: Amount of money that might be borrowed in each quarter, to be determined.
    - **Repayments**: Amounts to be paid back, shown as blank, indicating pending data.
    - **Interest**: Interest on borrowings for each quarter.
    
7. **Total Financing**: The net financing taking place, with current zero values.

8. **Ending Cash Balance**: The final balance of available cash at the end of each quarter and the year, presently shown as "$0."

The table requires the input of specific values to represent financial activities accurately.
