    b. $4.500

    Explanation:

    The movement in cash balance at the start and end of a period is as a result of cash receipts and disbursements. This may be expressed mathematically as

    Opening cash balance + cash receipts - cash disbursed = closing cash balance

    Hence,

    $10,500 + $53,000 - $59,500 = Closing cash balance

    closing cash balance

    = $4,000

    If the minimum cash balance of $8,500 is expected, then the amount to be borrowed

    = $8500 - $4000

    = $4500
