    The company should borrow $320,000 during february.

    Explanation:

    Cash Sales = 25%*$800,000

    = $200,000

    Credit Card Sales = 75%*$800,000

    = $600,000

    Bank Charges = 3%*$600,000

    = $18,000

    Selling price = 160% of Cost of purchases

    Cost of purchases = Selling price/160%

    = $800,000/160%

    = $500,000

    4% of Sales = 4%*$800,000

    = $32,000

    Particulars Amount Amount

    Opening cash 150000
