Johnny Andersen · Answer 1

Borrow $6,500

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Cash on Hand on June 1 $10,000

Add: Anticipates cash receipts $32,000

Total cash available $42,000

Less: Anticipates total cash disbursements - $38,500

Ending cash balance $3,500

Less: Minimum cash balance - 10,000

Borrowed amount - $6,500

Hence, the borrowed amount is $6,500
