Answer 1

-$20,000 short fall

Step-by-step explanation:

July:

Total cash available:

= Cash balance + Cash collections

= $12,000 + $67,000

= $79,000

End cash:

= Total cash available - Cash payments

= $79,000 - (33,000 + 12,000)

= $79,000 - $45,000

= $34,000

August:

Total cash available:

= Cash balance + Cash collections

= $34,000 + $33,000

= $67,000

End cash:

= Total cash available - Cash payments

= $67,000 - (34,000 + 20,000 + 33,000)

= $67,000 - $87,000

= -$20,000 (Short fall)
