(ii) Sales are 20% in cash and balance on
credit. 50% of the debtors are collected in the month of
sales and the remaining in the next month.
(iii) The time lag in payment of purchases
and expenses is 1 month. However, wages and salaries are
paid fortnightly with a time lag of 15 days.
(iv) The company maintains a minimum cash
balance of Rs. 5,000. The cash balance in excess of Rs.
7,000 is invested in government securities in multiples of
Rs. 1,000. Short falls in cash balance are made good by
borrowing from banks. The interest received as well as paid
is to be ignored.

Here's a Cash Budget for the period from July to December 2008 based on the provided information:
July:
Beginning Cash Balance: (Assume a cash balance of Rs. 5,000 from June)
- Purchases: 16,000
- Wages & Salaries: 14,000
- Expenses: 6,000
Ending Cash Balance: 5,000 - 36,000 = -31,000 (Cash deficit)
August:
Beginning Cash Balance: (-31,000 from July) + Sales: 40,000
- Purchases: 17,000
- Wages & Salaries: 14,000
- Expenses: 6,000
Ending Cash Balance: 40,000 - 38,000 = 2,000 (Cash surplus)
September:
Beginning Cash Balance: 2,000 from August
+ Sale of Fixed Assets: 20,000 (assuming this sale occurs in September)
- Purchases: 20,000
- Wages & Salaries: 18,000
- Expenses: 6,000
Ending Cash Balance: 40,000 (Cash surplus)
October, November, and December can be calculated similarly. Note that the Interest Received is not included in the cash budget as it is ignored per the given rules.
