Answer: B. There is $19,000 available for additional investments.

Explanation:

Cash Receipts both Estimated and available

= Beginning balance + budget receipts

= 6,000 + 81,000

= $87,000

Cash payments

= 44,000 + 34,000 + 15,000

= $93,000

Additional financing required = Cash receipts - Cash payment - minimum cash balance

= 87,000 - 93,000 - 13,000

= -$19,000
