Karim Corp. requires a minimum $9,200 cash balance. If necessary, loans are taken to meet this requirement at a cost of 1% interest per month (paid monthly). Any excess cash is used to repay loans at month-end. The cash balance on July 1 is $9,600 and the company has no outstanding loans. Forecasted cash receipts (other than for loans received) and forecasted cash payments (other than for loan or interest payments) follow.
| July | August | September | |
| Cash Receipts | $ 25,200 | $ 33,200 | $ 41,200 |
| Cash Payments | $ 29,800 | $ 31,200 | $ 33,200 |
Prepare a cash budget for July, August, and September. (Negative balances and Loan repayment amounts (if any) should be indicated with minus sign. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
