Allie Carey · Answer 1

The firm's beginning cash balance on June 1 is $ 205.

Explanation:

We have to use the following the formula to reach to the beginning cash

Beginning Cash balance june 1 = Beginning cash balance may 1 + sales - expenses

Beginning Cash balance june 1 = [$175] + [$430] - [$110 + $290]

Beginning Cash balance june 1 = $ 205

Important. The may sales are not included in the calculation because accounts receivable time is 30 days, so may accounts receivable wont be collected until june.
