Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

It is given that Garnett Co. expects to purchase $180,000 of materials in July and $210,000 of materials in August.

Purchase in July = $180,000

Purchase in August = $210,000

Three-fourths of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase, and the other one-fourth are paid for in the month following the month of purchase.

In August, the cash disbursements for materials purchases be 3/4th of $210,000 (Purchase in August) and 1/4  of $180,000 (Purchase in July).

August's cash disbursements for materials purchases be

$Amount=\frac{3}{4}\times 210000+\frac{1}{4}\times 180000$

$Amount=157500+45000$

$Amount=202500$

The August's cash disbursements for materials purchases be $202500. Therefore the correct option is B.
