Accounting
Mary Walker, president of Rusco Company, considers $36,000 to be the minimum cash balance for operating purposes. As can be seen from the following statements, only $31,000 in cash was available at the end of 2014. Since the company reported a large net income for the year, and also issued both bonds and common stock, the sharp decline in cash is puzzling to Ms. Walker.
