The amount Webster must borrow during April is:

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount to be borrowed = $21,600

Explanation:

Provided details,

Opening cash balance as on 31 March = $36,400

Add: Expected Receipts = $641,000

Less: Expected purchases = ($608,500)

Less: Cash Expenses = ($27,000)

Less: Selling and administration ($33,500)

Total balance = $8,400

Balance to be maintained = $30,000

Loan to be taken or amount to be borrowed = $30,000 - $8,400 = $21,600
