Answer 1

Answer:

$604,000

Explanation:

Given that,

                                  Opening            Closing

Inventory                   $112,000           $133,000

Accounts payable     $55,000           $64,000

Cost of goods sold = $592,000

Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock

Purchases = Cost of goods sold - Opening stock + Closing stock

                  = $592,000 - $112,000 + $133,000

                  = $613,000

Bramble’s 2017 cash payments to suppliers:

= Opening accounts payable + Purchases - Closing accounts payable

= $55,000 + $613,000 - $64,000

= $604,000
