What is the purpose of planning a cash budget?

Solution

Correct Option: 1

A cash budget forecasts cash inflows and outflows so the firm holds enough cash to meet obligations while avoiding idle excess cash. Its purpose is thus to maintain an adequate cash balance and avoid surplus cash, not to forecast sales or manage the workforce.
