Answer 1

Answer:

$15,300

Explanation:

The computation of the amount borrowed is shown below:

Beginning Cash Balance $15,300

Add: Expected cash collections $435,000

Total cash available $450,300 (a)

Less: Disbursements  

Direct Material cash disbursements $80,000

Direct Labor cash disbursements $32,000

MOH cash disbursements $25,000

Operating expense cash disbursements $110,000

Capital Expenditure cash disbursements $200,000

Less: Total cash disbursement -$447,000 (b)

Amount left  - $3,300   (a - b)

Borrowed amount is $15,300

Ending cash balance is $12,000

We simply add the collections and deduct the Disbursements ​ to the opening cash balance
