Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cash balance at the end of July is calculated as the beginning balance plus cash collections minus cash payments. Starting with $32,000, add $53,000 in collections, and subtract $20,000 (materials), $32,000 (expenses), and $16,000 (capital expenditures), resulting in $17,000.
