Harbor Books April Cash Flow

Harbor Books uses this cash flow diagram to review the money that moved through the store during April. Daily shop sales and a single school order are separated because they have different repeatability and collection patterns. Publisher invoices represent the inventory cost that follows sales, while wages and utilities show the routine cash commitment of operating the shop. The closing cash figure helps the owner decide whether the next author event or stock order can be funded without borrowing. For a longer planning horizon, make one diagram for each month and compare the sequence. Keep tax payments and card settlement timing as separate lines when those amounts materially affect cash availability.
