Question

The budget that estimates a firm's projected cash inflows and outflows, as well as cash shortages or surpluses during a given time period, is called the ________ budget.

Answer 1

Cash budget

Step-by-step explanation:

A budget is a financial plan that calculates a firm's expectations and uses that information to allocate the expectations to specific needs of the firm, to ensure its efficient and smooth running over a given period of time.

A cash budget as seen above is a type of budget that projects a firm's expectations cash-wise (inflwo and outflow), shortages and surpluses during a given period (say one year or two years, etc.).
