You have been hired by Ashton Corporation, a retailer, to assist in preparing the annual cash budget. The following information is available regarding the quarterly budgeted cash flows:

Total Cash Reciepts: 1st Quarter = $230,000 2nd Quarter = $380,000 3rd Quarter: $260,000 4th Quarter = $280,000

Total Cash Disembursements: 1st quarter = $295,000 2nd Quarter = $265,000 3rd Quarter: $255,000 4th Quarter = $275,000

The companys beginning cash balance for the upcoming fiscal year will be $30,000. The company requires a minimum cash balance of $10,000 and may borrow any amount needed from a local bank at a quarterly interest rate of 3%. The company may borrow any amount at the beginning of any quarter and may repay its loans, or any part of its loans, at the end of any quarter. Interest payments are due on any principal at the time it is repaid. For simplicity, assume that interest is not compounded.
