Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The budgeted cash disbursement for December are;

Beginning cash balance

$38,000

Sales

$650,000

Selling and admin

($120,000)

* Purchases (see calculation below)

($485,000)

Closing cash balance

$83,000

We will use the below to get purchases

Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock = Cost of sales

Therefore,

$300,000 + Purchases - $330,000 = 70% × $650,000

Purchases = $455,000 + $330,000 - $300,000

Purchases = $485,000

The budgeted cash disbursement

= Purchases + Selling and admin

= $485,000 + $120,000

= $605,000
