                Net Cash Burn = ($45,000)

Solution:

                Monthly Burn Rate = Annual Burn / 12

                Monthly Burn Rate = ($45,000) / 12

                Monthly Burn = ($3,750) per month

               

                Time to Out of Cash = Cash / Monthly Burn Rate

                Time to Out of cash = $16,000 / $3,750
