A contractor's monthly cash flow projection shows beginning cash of $85,000, receipts of $240,000, and disbursements of $290,000. If the minimum cash balance required is $50,000, what action is needed?

Correct Answer

C) Arrange for $15,000 in additional financing

Ending cash = Beginning cash + Receipts - Disbursements = $85,000 + $240,000 - $290,000 = $35,000. Since this is below the $50,000 minimum, additional financing of $15,000 is needed ($50,000 - $35,000).

Answer Options
A
Delay $35,000 in disbursements
B
Accelerate $25,000 in collections
C
Arrange for $15,000 in additional financing
D
No action needed, cash flow is positive

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Ending cash = Beginning cash + Receipts - Disbursements = $85,000 + $240,000 - $290,000 = $35,000. Since this is below the $50,000 minimum, additional financing of $15,000 is needed ($50,000 - $35,000).
