Which of the following statements best describes cash flows that would be shown on a cash budget?
| a. | 
 The cash flows shown on the cash budget are the actual cash inflows and outflows and thus different from the firm’s free cash flows, because FCF reflects after-tax operating income and the investments required to maintain future operations.  | 
|
| b. | 
 Depreciation is included in the estimate of cash flows (Cash flow = Net income + Depreciation); hence, depreciation is set forth on a separate line in the cash budget.  | 
|
| c. | 
 If cash inflows from collections occur in equal daily amounts but most payments are made regularly on the 10th of each month, then it is not necessary to use a daily cash budget. A cash budget focused on the end of the month will suffice.  | 
|
| d. | 
 Sound working capital policy is designed to maximize the time between cash expenditures on materials and the collection of cash on sales  |
