Cash payments to suppliers |
Answer - Cash payments to Suppliers = $588,000
Explanation -
To calculate cash payments to suppliers, first compute purchases for the year.
Beginning Inv + Purchases - COGS = Ending Inventory
$114,000 + purchases - $583,000 = $128,000
Purchases = $597,000
Now formula for cash paid to suppliers
Beginning A/P + Purchases - Cash Paid to Suppliers = Ending A/P
= $63,000 + $597,000 - Cash Paid to Suppliers = $72000
Cash Paid to Suppliers = $63,000 + $597,000 - $72000
Cash Paid to Suppliers = $588,000
