d. $65,200
e. $60,600
Answer : Correct Option is a.$66800
Explanation:
Calculation of Amount of Disbursement in Quarter two
Given that Weisbro and Sons purchase their inventory one quarter prior to the quarter of sale.
Amount of Inventory to be purchased in Quarter 2 = $106,000 * 60%
= $63600
Amount of Inventory to be purchased in Quarter 1 = $114,000 * 60%
= $68400
Given Accounts payable period is 60 days and in a quarter there are 90 days therefore 1/3rd of the amount of the creditors will be paid in the same month in the month of Purchase and 2/3rd will be paid in the next quarter
Therefore
Amount of Purchase which is required to be paid in current quarter
= 63600 * 1/3rd = 21200
Amount of Purchase which is required to be paid in current quarter of previous quarter purchase
= 68400 * 2/3rd = 45600
Total Amount of the expected disbursements for quarter two is $66,800 (21200 + 45600)
