QUESTION 41 Hessen is a wholesaler. The sales budget for November is $500,000 with a gross margin percentage of 65 percent. Purchases are paid for in the month following purchase. Hessen's beginning inventory is $35,000 and an ending inventory of $32,000 is desired. The beginning balance in accounts payable is $185,000. Reference:
a) What is the November 30th balance in accounts payable?
b) What is the amount of cash disbursements in November?
A) Sales revenue, November = $ 500,000
Gross Profit, November = $ 500,000 X 65% = $ 325,000
Cost of goods sold, November = Sales revenue - Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold, November = $ 500,000 - $ 325,000 = $ 175,000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchase - Ending Inventory
$ 175,000 = $ 35,000 + Purchase - $ 32,000
Purchase, November = $ 175,000 + $ 32,000 - $ 35,000 = $ 172,000
Accounts Payable A/C
Date | Accounts Title | $ | Date | Accounts Title | $ |
Nov | Cash [Cash disbursement in November to pay off suppliers ] | 185,000 | Nov 1 | Beginning Balance | 185,000 |
Nov | Purchase | 172,000 | |||
Nov 30 | Ending balance | 172,000 |
The balance of accounts payable on November 30 = $ 172,000
B) Cash disbursement in November to pay off suppliers = $ 185,000
