Scenario:<\/i><\/p>\n
Imagine you are the assistant controller in charge of general ledger accounting at Linbarger Company. Your company has a large loan from an insurance company. The loan agreement requires that the company\u2019s cash account balance be maintained at $200,000 or more, as reported monthly. At June 30, the cash balance is $80,000. You give this update to Lisa Infante, the financial vice president. Lisa is nervous and instructs you to keep the cash receipts book open for one additional day for purposes of the June 30 report to the insurance company. Lisa says, \u201cIf we don\u2019t get that cash balance over $200,000, we\u2019ll default on our loan agreement. They could close us down, put us all out of our jobs!\u201d Lisa continues, \u201cI talked to Oconto Distributors (one of Linbarger\u2019s largest customers) this morning. They said they sent us a check for $150,000 yesterday. We should receive it tomorrow. If we include just that one check in our cash balance, we\u2019ll be in the clear. It\u2019s in the mail!\u201d<\/p>\n
