e.Borrow $10,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

Borrowing require = $2,500

so correct option is d.Borrow $2,500

Explanation:

given data

cash at beginning = $12,000

cash receipts anticipates = $30,000

cash payments = $34,500

minimum cash balance = $10,000

required  balance = $10,000

to find out

To maintain the $10,000 required balance

solution

we get here cash at the end of the year that is

cash at the end of the year = Beginning cash balance + Cash Receipts - cash payments  .................1

cash at the end of the year = $12000 + $30000 - $34500

cash at the end of the year = $7500

and

we know minimum cash balance maintained is $10,000

so Borrowing require is here as

Borrowing require = $10000 - $7500

Borrowing require = $2,500

so correct option is d.Borrow $2,500
