Oscar Fox, the accounting manager of Onaka Antique Company, is preparing his company’s cash budget for the next quarter. Onaka desires to maintain a cash cushion of $2,000 at the end of each month. As cash flows fluctuate, the company either borrows or repays funds at the end of a month. It pays interest on borrowed funds at the rate of 1 percent per month.
