Equipment costing $$2,100$ will be purchased for cash in April.

Management would like to maintain a minimum cash balance of at least $$4,000$ at the end of each month. The company has an agreement with a local bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of $$1,000$ at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of $$20,000.$ The interest rate on these loans is $1\%$ per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded.
