Description
Chapman Construction Company is a building contractor specializing in small commercial buildings. The company has the opportunity to accept one of two jobs; it cannot accept both because they must be performed at the same time and Chapman does not have the necessary labor force for both jobs. Indeed, it will be necessary to hire a new supervisor if either job is accepted. Furthermore, additional insurance will be required if either job is accepted. The revenue and costs associated with each job follow.

Kinnion Medical Clinic has budgeted the following cash flows. |
|||||||
January | February | March | |||||
Cash Receipts |
$1,00,000 | $1,06,000 | $1,26,000 | ||||

Kinnion Medical had a cash balance of $8,000 on January 1. The company desires to maintain a |
|||||||
cash cushion of $5,000. Funds are assumed to be borrowed, in increments of $1,000 and repaid |
|||||||
on the last day of each month; the interest rate is 1 percent per month. Kinnion pays its vendor |
|||||||
on the last day of the month also. The company had a monthly $40,000 beginning balance in its |
|||||||
line of credit liability account from this year’s quarterly results. |

The book says that the Feb. Cash Surplus before financing activities is $7010. I can’t seem to figure out how they came to that conclusion. |
