How does a forecasted balance sheet balance?
Dumb question - when forecasting a balance sheet, how does it balance if your projecting line items like AR and AP using days? If AR goes up by $1 MM, how can that possibly balance

Any accounts receivable.you have should (ignoring tax) feed into revenue which feeds into net income which feeds into retained earnings which is in equity.
Assets = liabilities + equity
If AR goes up by 1MM, that would mean that cash (operating cash under nwc on the cash flow statement) would decrease by 1MM
Forgive me for not completely understanding your question here. Your A/R increases, so you have cash that you are supposed to collect --- already recorded as revenue --- but haven't collected yet so your cash is not there. That is a decrease in cash when you work on the cash flow statement because A/R increase in an increase in asset which is a cash outflow.
Not sure. Try to incorporate differences into your own made up accounts. What's the point of a balance sheet anyways, associate 1
Ps: this is a joke. I'm not writing the answer for an associate who should know this
