    Determine the amount of cash overage or shortage
    Have a Managerial Accounting problem:
    ABC Company budgeted the following transactions from May 2003

    Sales (60% collected in month of sale) $180,000
    Cash Operating Expenses $ 105,000
    Cash Purchases of Capital Investments $ 50,000
    Cash repayment on Note payable $ 40,000
    Depreciation on equipment $ 25,000

    There was $35,000 beginning cash balance. Sales for April were $75,000 and 40% expected to be collected in the month following the sales. The company desires to have a $20,000 and the cash balance. Determine the amount of cash overage or shortage.

    4 possible answers
    $42,000 shaortage
    $23,000 overage
    $22,000 shortage
    $43,000 overage

    I need help with which process to use to find the answers. A little lost.

    Cash in

    Sales from April 75000*.4 = 30000
    Sales from May 180000*.6 = 108000

    Total in 138000

    Cash out
    Operating expenses -105000
    Capital spend -50000
    Repay notes payable -40000

    Total out -195000

    Beginning balance 35000
    Cash in 138000
    Cash out -195000

    Projected ending balance -22000

    Desired cash balance 20000

    Projected shortage -42000
