You will be required to develop a schedule of quarterly cash flows.
The company wants to maintain minimum cash balance at the end of each quarter at >>>>> $150,000
Money can be borrowed or repaid in multiples of $5,000 at an interest rate of 10% annually.
Management does not want to borrow any more cash than is necessary and wants to repay as
promptly as possible. Loans may not extend beyond four quarters. Interest expense is computed
and paid when the principal is repaid. Assume that borrowing of funds takes place at the beginning
and repayments at the end of each of the quarters. Compute interest expense to the nearest dollar.

The following information is based on the cash effects of the operations in the Schedules you developed
in Part A of this case.
