The company should borrow $320,000 during february.

Explanation:

Cash Sales = 25%*$800,000

                   = $200,000

Credit Card Sales = 75%*$800,000

                              = $600,000

Bank Charges = 3%*$600,000

                        = $18,000

Selling price = 160% of Cost of purchases

Cost of purchases = Selling price/160%

                              = $800,000/160%

                              = $500,000

4% of Sales = 4%*$800,000

                    = $32,000
