Answer 1

The projected cash disbursements for Whetzel Corporation for November is $1,090,000. This is calculated as follows: the beginning cash balance of $50,000 will be increased for the November cash collections of $1,000,000 and the cash borrowed of $70,000 (a cash inflow). This amount of total cash inflows would then be reduced by the total disbursements to get to the ending balance of $30,000. By subtracting the $30,000 ending balance from the above number we will get the total disbursements. See below:
$50,000+$1,000,000+$70,000=$1,120,000
$1,120,000-$30,000=$1,090,000
Check:
$50,000+$1,000,000+$70,000-$1,090,000=$30,000 (agrees to ending balance)
