I am doing the cash budget, I have finished the cash receipt and cash payment
The questions is

The company makes 25 percent of its sales for cash and 75 percent on credit. Of the credit sales, 30 percent are collected in the month after the sale and 70 percent are collected two months after. X-cell Inc. pays for 20 percent of its purchases in the month after purchase and 80 percent two months after.

Labour expense equals 10 percent of the current month's sales. Overhead expense equals $13,000 per month. Interest payments of $38,000 are due in October and September. Cash dividends of $49,000 are scheduled to be paid in October and November. A tax payment of $15,000 is due in November. There is a scheduled capital outlay of $250,000 in November.

X-cell Inc.'s ending cash balance in August is $52,000. The minimum desired cash balance is $17,000. The maximum desired cash balance is $64,000. Excess cash (above $64,000) is used to buy marketable securities. These securities are sold before borrowing funds in the case of a cash shortfall (less than $17,000).

I don't see any data giving you a cumulative loan balance so you should assume 0 and fill in the rest of the numbers in the table. I expect a cumulative loan balance would arise when the cash flows are sufficiently negative to fully deplete the cash balance and investments as in month 11. The ending cash balance in September should be 64,000 which becomes the beginning cash balance in October, etc, etc
