What is the amount of the net decrease in cash during the month?

Answer 1

$4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Net gross increase = $(40,600 + 40,600 + 1,700 + 1,700) = $84,600

Net gross decrease = - $( 30,200 + 30,200 + 2,300 + 2,300 + 8,300 + 8,300 + 3,500 + 3,500) = -$88,600

∴ Net decrease = -$88,600 + $84,600 = $4,000

Answer 2

- $17,600

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net decrease in cash during the month is shown below:

= $40,600 - $17,400 - $30,200 - $2,300 - $8,300

= - $17,600

After calculating the items which are presented in the column 1 represent the net decrease in cash for $17,600 amount.

The net decrease in cash represents an outflow of cash. In this, the chances of loss may be higher than the loss.
