Cash flow forecast/ statement?

if you have an increase of debtors would that be a + or a - to the total? and if creditors cash decreases would that eb a + or a - to the account? also this question states an overdraft was due to be paid by the end of the month so would I put that in as a - (minus) still?

I dont know!|||If there is increase in debtors it increases total.



If creditor decreases, it too increase the total, After deducting the overdraft amount the total will be full high than before.|||There is a difference between an asset, a liability and a cashflow forcast.



The assets and liabilities are part of your P%26amp;L Statement,



The anticipated income goes on your cashflow/forcast.



The debt / unpaid balance would be a liability in the near-term, and become a loss after a period of time (Usually 90-120 days).|||Money that you owe is accumulated in the negative.



If it increases, that%26#039;s a bigger negative.



Money that is owed you is accumulated in the positive.



When some customer pays you, the normal entry would be a positive to the Cash in Bank account, and opposite negative entry out of the Receivables owed you. There might also be some entry with Discounts taken.



For example, suppose they owed you $1,000 where there terms are that they can take a 2% discount if they pay within 10 days. They do so.



You minus Receivables by $1,000 because that is not owed any more.



You add $980 to cash in bank and $ 20 difference to discounts on sales.



Often a customer does the math wrong on figuring discounts, so you may have addtional account to carry the errors, such as customers who took discounts they were not entitled to.
