Rundle Medical had a cash balance of $14,000 on January 1. The company desires to maintain a cash cushion of $5,000. Funds are assumed to be borrowed, in increments of $1,000, and repaid on the last day of each month; the interest rate is 1 percent per month. Repayments may be made in any amount available. Rundle pays its vendors on the last day of the month also. The company had a monthly $40,000 beginning balance in its line of credit liability account from this year’s quarterly results.

Interest for month of Jan = 40000*1% = $400

Shortfall = 7400, cash cushion required = 5,000, hence total borrowings = 12,400. But since borrowings are made in incrementsof $1,000, the borrowing are $13,000.

Interest for month of Feb = (40000+13000)*1% = 530

Excess balance =7070, cash cushion reqd = 5000, since repayment can be made in any amount, repayment = $2070. Closing loan balance = (53000-2070) = $50,930

Interest for March = 509.30,rounded off to $510.

Excess cash balance = 18490, cushion required = $5000, hence loan repaid = $13,490
