Cash Budget

The working capital management consist of the relationship of the company short-term liabilities & assets. Its goal is to confirm that an organization can maintain its operations in addition has enough capacity to satisfy all evolving short-term debt also potential operational expenses. The working capital management includes managing accounts payable, receivable, cash, and inventories (Studyfinance, 2020, p. para 1). As per the scenario, we take two components: inventory management and cash budget.

Cash Budget

A cash budget fixes the expected cash sources as well as uses it in a future. This budget used to measure either operations of the company and other activities can produce sufficient cash to fulfill the expected requirements of cash. Unless, then management needs to find alternative sources of financing. The cash budget inputs come from various other budgets. The cash budget enumerates debt, investments, and both interest expense and income which result in financing budget.

Example

The example demonstrates that the company is positioned in a negative cash situation by an excessively large dividend in the second cash budget week, combined with a major asset purchase the next week. Paying such a high dividend may be a challenge for lenders who don't like issuing loans; therefore, businesses can use the money to pay their shareholders and thus undermine their ability to repay the loans. Therefore, accepting a minimal dividend payout and eliminating a negative cash position can be better for the company (Accountingtools, 2019, p. para 2).

Inventory Management

Inventory management is refers to that process which includes storing, organizing, as well as using the inventory of a company. These contain the management of components, finished products, raw materials, as well as processing and warehousing such items. For companies through complex manufacturing processes and supply chains, balancing the inventory shortages and gluts risks is specifically difficult (Hayes, 2019, p. para 1).
