Borrowing cost example

HHenry10y ago
Dear Sir, In the solution in the borrow column are those amounts cumulative? and sorry to say but i didn’t understand how 20,90,30 and 90 came in Invest column. Could you please make it clear. Thanks in Advance.

The amount in the borrowed column is cumulative (couldn't you work that out?!!!) The amount in the invest column is the amount of surplus funds. If I borrow 20 and I immediately spend 12 then I have surplus funds of 8 to invest. Can you work it out from there on or do you want a complete explanation?

Yes, I got those are cumulative. But yes i will prefer a complete explanation, May be i have the confusion with the terminals, withdraw, spent, invested etc.

Borrowed 100, spent 50 invested 50 Spent 30 so investment falls to 20 Borrowed 120, spent 50 invested 70 So investment rises to 90 Spent 60 so investment falls to 30 Borrowed 80 spent 20 invested 60 So investment rises to 90 Can you finish it now?
