Answer:

$5,100

Explanation:

Initial cash balance (IB) = $32,500

Expected cash receipts (EC) = $48,500.

Cash disbursements (CD) = $56,100

Amount borrowed (B) = ?

Assuming that the final balance must equal at least $30,000, the cash flow for april is given by:

[tex]\$30,000 = IB +EC-CD+B \\B= \$30,000 -\$32,500-$48,500+\$56,100\\B=\$5,100[/tex]

Sit Down Corporation will need to borrow $5,100 during April to maintain a minimum cash balance of $30,000.
