Disbursement float of $5,515

Explanation:

Yes Based on the information given this a DISBURSEMENT FLOAT

Calculation to determine the value of the float

First step is to calculate the Disbursement float

Disbursement float = 71 Ă— $537 Ă— 3.75 days

Disbursement float = $142,977

Second step is to calculate the Collection float

Collection float = 68 Ă— $622 Ă— 3.25 days

Collection float = $137,462

Value of the float =$142,977 - $137,462

Value of the float = $5,515

Therefore the Value of the float will be $5,515
