P-57 Preparing a financial budget Assume Piedmont Computer began January with $15,000 cash. Management forecasts that cash receipts from credit customers will be $48,000 in January and $51,000 in February. Projected cash payments include equipment purchases ($20,000 in January and $41,000 in February) and selling and administrative expenses ($2,000 each month) Piedmont Computer Company's bank requires a $26,000 minimum balance in the firm's checking account. At the end of any month when the account balance falls below $26,000, the bank automatically extends credit to the firm in multiples of $5,000. Piedmont Computer Company borrows as little as possible and pays back loans each month in $1,000 increments, plus 12% interest on the entire unpaid principal. The first payment occurs one month after the loan. Requirements 1.
