Answer 1

$38,500

Step-by-step explanation:

April:

Opening cash balance = $20,000

Cash collections = $26,000

Purchases of direct materials = 4,000

Operating expenses = 3,50

Projected cash balance at the end of April:

= Opening cash balance + Cash collections - Purchases of direct materials - Operating expenses

= $20,000 + ​$26,000 - 4,000 - 3,500

= $38,500
