Cash budget

$

Expected cash receipts 59,400

Expected cash payment 66,090

Cash deficit (6690 )

Opening cash balance 12,230

Borrowed fund 2,030

Closing cash balance 7,570

Note:

The borrowed is the difference between the net cash balance and the the minimum cash balance

Net cash balance = 12,030 - 6,690= 5340

Borrowed fund = $2,030
