To calculate the preliminary cash balance at the end of August before any loan activity, you need to follow these steps:

  2. Add the anticipated cash receipts during August, which is $121,800.

    So, 17,500(initialcash)+17,500 (initial cash) + 121,800 (cash receipts) = $139,300.

  3. Subtract the anticipated cash payments during August, which is $135,000.

    So, 139,300139,300 - 135,000 (cash payments) = $4,300.
