Question

The following information was taken from Bounders Company cash budget for the month of July: Beginning cash balance $50,000 Cash receipts 48,000 Cash disbursements 68,000 If the company has a policy of maintaining an end of the month cash balance of $50,000, how much will the company need to borrow during July?

Answer 1

Answer:

$20,000  

Step-by-step explanation:

Balance carried forward (c/f)   = $ 50,000

Cash receipts (add)                  = $  48,000

Cash disbursement (subtract) = $ (68,000)

Cash balance                           = $  30,000

Since the cash  balance is  $  30,000, the company will need to borrow  $20,000  during July in order to align with company policy.

NB : Please note that  $ (68,000) mean - $ 68,000.
