The cash balance at the end of the year is simply total cash receipts minus total cash payments which is further analyzed below:

Cash receipt from sales=total sales-accounts receivable=$250,000-$18,900=$ 231,100.00  

Cash paid for merchandise purchase=purchases-accounts payable=$96,000-$27,000=$69,000

Salaries paid     $12,700

Cash from  owners is $14,000

cash from borrowing is $14,000

interest paid is $3800

insurance paid is $7,800

Tax paid=(sales-purchases-salaries paid-insurance cost(one year)-interest paid)*tax rate

insurance for one year=$7800*1/2=$3,900

tax paid=($250,000-$96,000-$12,700-$3,800-$3,900)*40%=$53440

Cash balance=$231,100-$69,000-$12,700+$14,000-$14,000-$3800-$7800-$53440=$84,360.00
