Calculate the company's net cash flow, the cash balance, and its required total financing. (Hint: you can use the simplified cash budget table to do the calculations)
Explanation / Answer
Answer to Part a)
Company's Net Cash Flow = Receipts - Payments
Company's Net Cash Flow = 22 million - 27 million
Company's Net Cash Flow = (5) Million
Answer to Part b)
Cash Balance = Opening Balance + Receipts - Payments
Cash Balance = 3 million + 22 million - 27 million
Cash Balance = (2) Million
Answer to part c)
Required Financing:
Cash Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Receipts - Payments + Amount financed
1 million = 3 million + 22 millions - 27 millions + Amount financed
3 millions = Amount Financed
