What will be an ideal response?
$4,500
1. Cash balance before loan payoff = Beginning cash balance + cash receipts ? cash disbursements = $15,000 + $50,000 ? $34,500 = $30,500.
2. Projected excess cash = Available cash balance ? minimum cash balance requirement = $30,500 ? $20,000 = $10,500.
3. New balance of loan = Existing balance ? loan pay-off amount = $15,000 ? $10,500 = $4,500.
