In problem 7, Big City Manufacturing (BCM) assumed that all credit sales were paid in full, with no bad debt expense. For this problem, please assume that bad debt expense is again 0% for BCM. Purchases for next month's sales are 50% of projected sales for the next month, and April sales are estimated to be $495,000; purchases for April are paid in cash in March. "Other payments," which include wages, rent, and taxes, are 25% of sales for the current month. Construct a cash budget for March using your expected cash receipts from problem 7 and calculate the average net cash flow during the month of March.
Please Reference This question below:

The assets of Dallas & Associates consist entirely of current assets and net plant and equipment, and the firm has no excess cash. The firm has total assets of $2.6 million and net plant and equipment equals $2.3 million. It has notes payable of $145,000, long-term debt of $745,000, and total common equity of $1.55 million. The firm does have accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet. The firm only finances with debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock on its balance sheet.
Write out your answers completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to the nearest dollar, if necessary.

Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $270,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. The new machine will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. Management thinks the machine would have a value of $23,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. Net operating working capital would increase by $25,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life. Holmes's marginal tax rate is 25%, and an 11% WACC is appropriate for the project.
