Answer:
$47,000
Explanation:
The cash budget is a forecast of the company's expected movement in cash considering the expected outflows and inflows. This movements result in a change between the opening and ending cash balance. This may be expressed mathematically as
Opening balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursed = ending balance
Cash receipts for the period
= $264,000
Cash disbursed
= $138,000 + $80,000 + $10,000 + $15,000
= $243,000
ending balance = $26,000 + $264,000 - $243,000
= $47,000
