Respuesta :

Answer:

correct option is D. None of the above

Explanation:

given data

Cash Receipts =  $40,000

Beginning Cash Balance = $10,000

Cash Payments = $48,000

Desired Ending Cash Cushion = $5,000

interest rate = 1% per month

to find out

amount of interest expense incurred for January

solution

we get here first Cash available that is

Cash available  = Cash Receipts + Beginning Cash Balance - Cash Payments   ...........1

Cash available  = $40,000 + $10,000 - $48,000

Cash available = $2,000

so

Borrow amount is = Desired Ending Cash Cushion - Cash available   .........2

Borrow amount = $5,000 - $2000

Borrow amount = 3,000

so here borrow amount is made at last month so that no interest will be accrued for January

interest will paid t end of February

so correct option is D. None of the above
