Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

January:

Total cash available:

= cash balance at beginning - Budgeted cash collections

= $50,000 + $100,000

= $150,000

Total cash payments(budgeted cash payments) = $127,000

Closing cash balance:

= Total cash available - Total cash payments + Borrowings

= $150,000 - $127,000 + $0

= $23,000

February:

Total cash available:

= cash balance at beginning - Budgeted cash collections

= $23,000 + $80,000

= $103,000

Total cash payments (budgeted cash payments) = $165,000

Closing cash balance = Total cash available - Total cash payments + Borrowings

$10,000 = $103,000 - $165,000 + Borrowings

Borrowings = $175,000 - $103,000

                   = $72,000

March:

Total cash available:

= cash balance at beginning - Budgeted cash collections

= $10,000 + $75,000

= $85,000

Total cash payments (budgeted cash payments) = $92,000

Closing cash balance = Total cash available - Total cash payments + Borrowings

$10,000 = $85,000 - $92,000 + Borrowings

Borrowings = $102,000 - $85,000

                   = $17,000
