The advantage <strong>of</strong> this method is to explain the causes <strong>of</strong> variation in cash which are to be found in the Working<br />
Capital Fund, themselves conditioned by changes in the operation <strong>of</strong> the undertaking.<br />
3.2.1 - PRESENTATION OF THE CASH FLOW FORECAST IN TERMS OF 'RESOURCES AND NEEDS'.<br />
Short-term cash forecasts are generally presented in one <strong>of</strong> the three following forms:<br />
Estimated Balance<br />
Adjusted earnings<br />
Variation <strong>of</strong> working capital.<br />
These three possible presentations use the same forward-looking information; either variation estimated.<br />
G = gross fixed assets,<br />
S = stocks,<br />
R = realizable customers (third party receivables and short term loans).<br />
C = cash,<br />
Cp = capital permanent (capital, reserves and long-term loans),<br />
D = depreciation,<br />
ST = short-term debt (third-party accounts payable and short-term borrowings),<br />
F = pr<strong>of</strong>its,<br />
1 – ESTIMATE:<br />
i.e., the estimate and the projected income statement data<br />
The presentation takes the following form:<br />
Or, what amounts to the same,<br />
G + S + R + C = Cp + D + ST + F<br />
(G - D) + S + R + C = Cp + ST + f<br />
Should be to estimate as accurately as possible the movements <strong>of</strong> each workstation for the next (month or year)<br />
period. The Cash is obtained by difference.<br />
2 - ADJUSTED INCOME:<br />
The relationship becomes:<br />
3 - The variation <strong>of</strong> the Working Capital Fund.<br />
This time the relationship is written:<br />
And highlights the change in working capital:<br />
C = F + D + ST + Cp - (G + S + R)<br />
C = F + D + Cp - G - (S + R - ST)<br />
