The desired ending cash balance is $30,600. To attain its desired ending cash balance for January, the company should borrow:

Answer 1

Company should borrow = $15200

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the calculation for the borrowing amount:

Cash balance at the beginning = $18600

Add - Cash receipts = 186000

Less- Cash disbursements = (189200)

Budgeted cash balance = 18600 + 186000 - 189200 = 15400

Borrowing will be = Ending cash - 15400

Borrowing will be = 30600 - 15400

Borrowing will be = $15200

Company should borrow = $15200
