Answer 1

Answer:

$238,148

Explanation:

Total expenses:

= Inventory purchased + Salaries expense + Interest expenses + Insurance expense

= $85,000 + $15,000 + $3,300 + $3,900

= $107,200

Net income:

= Total revenue - Total expenses

= $300,000 - $107,200

= $192,800

Net income after tax:

= Net income - Taxes

= $192,800 - ($192,800 × 9%)

= $192,800 - $17,352

= $175,448

Cash balance:

= Net income after tax - Amount not collected on accounts receivable + Amount not paid on purchases - Prepaid insurance + Money invested by owners + Money borrowed

= $175,448 - $19,900 + $26,500 - $3,900 + $30,000 + $30,000

= $238,148
