Required:
a. Is this a disbursement or collection float?

Answer 1

Answer:

$10,146

Explanation:

Llcrys Corp

Disbursment float = Checks ×average amount × numbers of clearing days

Disbursement float = 52× $461 × 2.5

Disbursement float = $59,930

Collection float = Checks ×average amount × numbers of average days

Collection float = 49 × $508× 2.00

Collection float = $49,784

Hence:

Disbursement float - Collection float

= $59,930 − $49,784

= $10,146

This is a DISBURSEMENT FLOAT of $10,146
