    Answer and Explanation:

    The preparation of cash budget for July, August and September is shown below:-

    July August September

    Beginning cash balance $8,400 $8,000 $8,000

    Add:

    Cash receipts $20,000 $26,000 $40,000

    Total cash available $28,400 $34000 $48000

    Less:-

    Cash payments $28,000 $30,000 $22,000

    Less:-

    Interest on bank loan 0 $76 $117

    Preliminary cash balance $400 $3,924 $25,883

    Additional loan (loan repayment) $7,600 $4,076 - $11,676

    Ending cash balance $8,000 $8,000 $14,207

    Loan balance

    Loan balance - Beginning of month 0 $7,600 $11,676

    Additional loan (loan repayment) $7,600 $4,076 - $11,676

    loan balance-end of month $7,600 $11,676 0

    Working note

    Interest = $7600 * 1% = $76

    Interest = $11,676 * 1% = $117

    Therefore for making cash budget we simply added all the receipts and less all the payments.
