I think policymakers would link social security payments to inflation to help the recipients with the increased cost of living due to inflation of prices also. I don't think small increases due to a low rate of inflation is a downside because the low rate of inflation means goods and services will not increase much in price so will still be relatively affordable.

isk Co. purchases raw materials on account. Budgeted purchase amounts are April, $96,000; May, $126,000; and June, $136,000. Pay
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Given that Payments are made as follows: 70% in the month of purchase and 30% in the month after purchase, therefore, firstly we need to differentiate the total amount of purchases of each month into 70% and 30%. 70% of the purchases will be paid in current month and balance 30% of the purchases will be ending accounts payable for that month and paid in next month. This is shown as follows:

Particulars                                         April         May          June

Current month purchases  70% $67,200  $88,200    $95,200

Ending accounts payable   30%   $28,800   $37,800    $40,800

Total purchases                             $96,000  $126,000  $136,000

The schedule of budgeted cash payments for the month of April May and June are shown as follows:-

                            Schedule of Cash Payments    

                               For April, May, and June

                                                                      April           May         June

Cash payments for:

Current month purchases                          $67,200   $88,200   $95,200  

Prior month purchases                               $38,000   $28,800   $37,800

Budgeted cash payments for materials  $105,200 $117,000  $133,000
