Disbursement Float = Average check written * Average number of days for checks to clear

                           = 32000* 5

                            = 160000

collection float =Average check received *Average number of days for checks to clear

                  = -35000* 4

                  = -140000

Net Float = Disbursement float +collection float

              = 160000+ (-140000)

              = 160000-140000

                = $ 20000
