-$14,000

Explanation:

The computation of excess or deficiency of cash is shown below:

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

where,

Expected cash disbursements equal to

=  Direct Materials Cash Disbursements + Direct Labor Cash Disbursements + MOH Cash Disbursements + Operating Expenses Cash Disbursements + Capital Expenditures Cash Disbursements

= $69,000 + $46,000 + $39,000 + $89,000 + $128,000

= $371,000

And, the other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $7,000 + $350,000 - $371,000

= $357,000 - $371,000

= -$14,000
