Cash Flow Analysis Worksheet
Cash Flow Analysis Worksheets — 1 —
This article describes the cash budget and analysis worksheets available for downloading at the
Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics web site
worksheets are part of the cashcost file in either the Excel or Quattro Pro format. These spreadsheet
templates can be used to generate budget information customized to your operation on an operating
or cash cost basis only (fixed costs are not included).
A cash flow analysis is an important step in taking control of any agricultural business. The allocation
of income to cover expected costs throughout the year will help ensure that all credit obligations will
be met. It is equally important not only to track current cash flows, but also to project at the start of
the production year all expected income and expenditures. Once expected income and expenditures
are recorded, comparisons can be made between projected and actual cash flows to help point out
any discrepancies.
Two of the main worksheets found in the cashcost file are the cash budget worksheet and the analysis
worksheet. Both of the worksheets and how to use them are described in the following paragraphs.
The cash budget worksheet allows the user to summarize all cash inflows (receipts) and outflows
(expenditures) for up to four individual crops grown on the farm during the yearly business cycle. The
year end summary receipts and expenditures are organized into categories and entered on the cash
budget worksheet for each crop. The actual cash flow values can then be used to evaluate historical
cash performance of the business, as well as serve as a guide for future cash flow needs throughout
the current business year.
The analysis worksheet is linked to the cash budget worksheet and allows for percentage adjust-
ments to be made for each crop and each income and expenditure category. A year-end comparison
between the newly adjusted cash budget and the actual cash budget is presented at the end of the
analysis worksheet.

Components of the Cash Budget & Analysis Worksheets

Both the cash budget worksheet and the analysis worksheet are broken up into several main areas
denoted by type of receipts and expenditures. Under some of the main expenditure areas are sub
categories further defining each of the expenditures. Each of the main areas are presented below
with descriptions of what is contained within the areas and where appropriate, examples of data
entries are presented. Data should only be entered in the areas shaded in green on the actual
worksheets. All other areas are calculated fields and will automatically fill in when the information is
provided in the green shaded areas.
