CASE 13.2 Cash Budgeting for You as a Student [ LO13-1, LO13-8
Individuals generally do not prepare statements of cash flows concerning their personal activities. But they do engage in cash budgeting-if not on paper, then at least in their heads.
Assume it is December 29-a Monday, While you are in school, you share a modest apartment with several other students and work part time, both near your school to minimize expenses. In two days your share of the rent for January, $200, will be due. You now have $140 in the bank; every Friday you receive a paycheck for $100. You probably see the problem. And it may not look too serious; you can find a way to deal with it. That's what budgeting is all about.
Let's take this example a step further. In addition to the facts given, your weekly cash payments include meals, $30; entertainment, $20; and gasoline, $10.
