Answer 1

Answer:

$56,000

Explanation:

Given the above information, we will calculate first the total cash flow.

Total cash flow = Opening cash receivable + Sales - Ending cash receivables

= $196,000 + $880,000 - $226,000

= $850,000

Ending cash balance = Opening cash balance + Total cash flow - Cash disbursement

= $146,000 + $850,000 - $940,000

= $56,000
