Deegan Payne · Answer 1

balance of the loan = $4500

correct option is d. $4, 500

Explanation:

given data

cash at the beginning = $15,000

cash receipts = $50,000

cash disbursements = $34, 500

minimum cash balance = $10,000

maintains = $20,000

company owes = $15,000

to find out

balance of the loan

solution

we get here first excess that is

excess = $15,000 + $50,000 - $34, 500

excess = $30500

so used to loan replay will be here as

used to loan replay = $30500 - $20,000

used to loan replay = $10500

so balance of loan will be here

balance of the loan = $15,000 - $10500

balance of the loan = $4500

correct option is d. $4, 500
