Ending cash balance

$40,539

$52,869

The ending cash balance shortfall in October $40,539 - $34,000 = $6,539

Hence, the amount to be borrowed = $6,539

In November, the company has enough funds to meet its ending cash balance as well as pay-off the borrowed amount with interest.

Interest for 2 month = 6,539 x 12% x 2/12 = $130.78 or $131 (rounded off)

Note: cash is borrowed in the first day of the month, assuming the company borrows cash on October 1, and repays on November 30, interest is payable for two months.
