Answer 1

Answer: $‭196,800‬

Explanation:

The cash payments to suppliers for inventory purchases will be:

= Cost of goods sold - Decrease in inventory -  Increase in accounts payable

Decrease in inventory = 23,500 - 17,800

= $5,700

Increase in accounts payable

= 13,500 - 6,000

= $7,500

Cash to suppliers for inventory = 210,000 - 5,700 - 7,500

= $‭196,800‬
