Expert Solution

1.The cash budget is presented in the first 2 pictures. Second picture is the continuation of the table in first picture.

The closing balance of:

  • June is 7, 000 cash
  • July is 38400 overdraft
  • August is 1, 30, 200 overdraft

The third picture is a working note. It shows the details of payment for credit sales received during June to August.
