Koehl's Doll Shop

Koehl's Doll Shop needs a cash budget to forecast cash needs around the busy Christmas period. The shop runs on cash basis and frequently runs out of cash, causing supplier issues. Sales are high in December but purchases must be paid for the following month. The budget forecasts a cash shortage in December that can be met through a bank loan. If customers are given 30 days credit, the loan need increases due to delayed cash inflows.
