Answer 1

Answer:

$16,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Ending cash balance = $72,000

Beginning cash balance = $51,000

Cash receipts = $135,000

Cash disbursements = $130,000

The computation of cash borrowing is shown below:-

Ending cash balance = Beginning cash balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements + Cash borrowings

$72,000 = $51,000 + $135,000 - $130,000 + Cash borrowings

Cash borrowings = - $72,000 + $51,000 + $135,000 - $130,000

= $186,000 - $202,000

= $16,000
