FOR QUESTIONS 29 TO 37, REFER TO

THE FOLLOWING CASE STUDY:

 

The

Bookkeeper of

Fruits (Pty) Ltd

is forecasting the company’s short-term

financing needs for the next quarter of its financial year, June 2025 to August

2025, and you, as a corporate treasury management student, have been requested

to assist in determining these needs and the possible costs of financing.

The following information

has been gathered and passed on to you:

The company sells CCTV

camera supplies for cash and on credit, leading to the constant cash flows of

cash sales and payments from debtors, with occasional large inflows from direct

sales. It is indicated

that

40% of sales are paid in cash in the same month that the sales are made

 

Sales are split evenly

between cash and credit. The ageing report on the accounting system of the

company gives the following breakdown of collections from debtors:

 

  • 20% one month after the sales have taken

    place

  • 80% two months after the sales have taken place
  • No bad debts.

 

  • The sales recorded for both April 2025 and May 2025 were

    R600 000, respectively.

  • Sales are expected to increase to R800 000 in June 2025 and to

    remain at this level until at least August 2025.

 

The company needs to make a

cash payment of R1 700 000 to a contractor for an upgrade of the company’s

systems in July.

Variable costs related to

sales equal 30% of the previous month's total sales, and the company has fixed

expenses estimated at R200,000 every month. The company had a cash balance of

R100 000 at the end of May 2025.

 

 

Fruits (Pty) Ltd

uses a R1 000 000 revolving credit facility

to finance cash shortfalls, which costs 14% per month and on which interest is

paid on the closing balance of the previous month.

No administrative fees are applicable. Assume 365 days per year.

REQUIRED:

Compile a cash budget for Fruits

(Pty) Ltd. for June to August 2025 and answer questions 29 to 36.

 QUESTION 29

one month after the sales have taken place for June, July, and August equals …
