Answer: $352,000

Explanation:

The information needed to calculate the cash and cash equivalent are:

Balance in checking account, Bank of the East = $ 382,000

The restricted cash included in the checking account = $49,000

Treasury bills = $19,000

We subtract the restricted cash from the balance in the checking account and then add it to the treasury bills. This will be:

= ($382,000 - $49,000) + $19,000

= $333,000 + $19,000

= $352,000
