Answer 1

$97,530

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cash & cash equivalent is shown below:

= Cash in Bank + Cash on Hand + Highly Liquid Investment + Petty Cash

= $47,300 + $13,700 + $36,000 + $530

= $97,530

We simply added the above four items so that the cash & cash equivalent could come

Therefore the amount that should be reported is $97,530
