Question

Multiple choice question.

Sales

Selling and administrative

Production

Direct labor

Answer 1

The budget that is NOT typically used to prepare the cash budget is Selling and administrative.

The cash budget is primarily based on expected cash inflows (often derived from the Sales budget) and expected cash outflows (which can be influenced by Production, Direct Labor, and other operating budgets, but are less directly linked to Selling and Administrative expenses in terms of cash flow timing).
