Answer:

$50

Explanation:

For computing the interest amount, first we have to determine the how much cash is available and how much funding is required which is shown below:

The cash available would be

= Beginning cash balance + expected cash receipts - expected cash disbursements

= $10,000 + $40,000 - $48,000

= $2,000

Now the funding amount would be

= Ending cash balance - cash available

= $7,000 - $2,000

= $5,000

So, the interest would be

= $5,000 × 1%

= $50
