Answer:

a.$37,560

Explanation:

Cash balance $40,000 at month end =  Cash balance $52,000 at beginning + cash receipts in June of $532,160 - cash disbursements of $581,720 +  New borrowing

⇔ $40,000 = $2,440 + new borrowing

⇔ New borrowing =  $40,000 - $2,440 = $37,560

If Skot wishes to maintain a cash balance of $40,000, Skot have to borrow $37,560 if it started the month with a cash balance of $52,000
