The cash balance as of the first day of the third quarter is projected to be $31,000. d. The health center has a policy that it must maintain a minimum cash balance of $22,000. The health center has a line of credit with the local bank that allows it to borrow funds in months that it would not otherwise have its minimum balance. If the company has more than its minimum balance at the end of any given month, it uses the excess funds to pay off any outstanding line of credit balance.
