Recommendations:
The company in the month of March was not able to meet the minimum cash balance and therefore needed to borrow at least $8,250 in that month.
Therefore the result is a cash disbursment of $ 68.75 per month as the rate is annual as interest on that borrowing to enable it have the minimum cash balance of $ 5,000.
The company should make the payment the following month to reduce the interest expenditure. The assumption is that the interest is charged on a straight line basis.
Due the surplus in the month of April th ecompany should consider paying off the loan.
