Given the following: Beginning Balances Budget Amounts Cash$146,000 Accounts Receivable 196,000 Sales $880,000 Cash disbursements 940,000 Depreciation 33,000 Ending accounts receivable balance 226,000 What is the expected cash balance of the company at the end of the coming month

Answer 1

$56,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above information, we will calculate first the total cash flow.

Total cash flow = Opening cash receivable + Sales - Ending cash receivables

= $196,000 + $880,000 - $226,000

= $850,000

Ending cash balance = Opening cash balance + Total cash flow - Cash disbursement

= $146,000 + $850,000 - $940,000

= $56,000
