Insurance for a twelve month period is prepaid on October 1 of each year. All other expenses are paid in the quarter incurred. The company requires a minimum cash balance of $50,000. All borrowings and repayments are done in even $1,000 increments. All borrowings are done on the first day of the quarter, and repayments are made on the last day of the quarter. Interest for all monies borrowed during a quarter is computed and accrued on the last day of the quarter and paid to the bank in the following quarter. Money borrowed is charged interest at a 7% annual rate. [Borrowing and Interest Example - If BW computes that the company will need to borrow $20,000 for the first quarter, the loan would occur on January 1 and interest expense during the first quarter would be $350 and this interest would be paid to the bank in the second quarter. If in the second quarter, BW determines that it will be able to repay the $20,000 loan, the repayment would occur on the last day of the second quarter or June 30.
