$0 $7,725 Borrowings

Explanation:

As Total receipts we report the total collections plus the sale of securities reported in January, here we reach to first line of Total available cash.

The we deduct the total disbursements that are made up of Direct Materials, Direct Labor, Manufacturing overhead and selling and administrative expenses, in this group of expenses we have to deduct the depreciation informed in manufacturing overhead because this item does not it's part of cash budget.

Finally we arrive at the Available cash over disbursements, in January there is no problem because we exceed the minimum that the company wants to keep as a cash balance, but in February it does not reach the minimum, so it's necessary to take the credit granted by the bank to keep the minimum amount estipulated, we borrow $7,725.
