Managerial Accounting Week 4

Complete: Case 6B (Chester & Wayne).

In this case, you have been provided financial information about the company in order to create a cash budget.  Management is seeking advice or clarification on three main assumptions the company has been operating.  Address Questions 1 and 2 at the end of the case.  Based on the case questions, you are required to provide a two to four double-spaced written report providing the necessary advice and explanations to management.  The written report should be properly formatted according to APA guidelines and demonstrate research and critical thinking skills.  Conclusions and recommendations should be supported by at least 2 scholarly sources from the Ashford Library or other external sources, excluding the textbook. 

Address Question 1 by using a spreadsheet to prepare the case budget for the fourth quarter.  The cash budget should be included as an appendix to the written report and should be referenced in the written report.
