What is Lambert's expected cash disbursement in October for purchases of goods?

Answer 1

Lambert's expected cash disbursement in October for purchases of goods = $138,000

Solution:

Given,

Lambert Company purchased $140,000 of goods

Expects to purchase $130,000 of goods

Lambert must make the following payments:

Rent                               $5,000

Wages                             14,000

Utilities                            3,000

Telephone                          400

Loan on equipment          1,200

Lambert uses the company's payment card to acquire a desktop device for $4,500. Usually, the credit card balance must be charged in full in the next month. September payment card transactions contributed to $6,000.

Now , To find Lambert's expected cash disbursement in October for purchases of goods :

$5,000 + $14,000+ $3000+ $400+ $1200 =  $23600

= $23600  +  80% of the Sept order of $140,000 ($112,000) + 20% of the Oct order of $130,000($26,000)  

= $161,600 + the $6000 credit card = $167,600

Purchase of goods is  $112,000 & $26,000  =  $138,000
