Answer 1

the cash paid to supplier is $143,000

Purchases = Ending inventory + cost of goods sold - beginning inventory

= $27,500 + $140,000 - $25,000

= $142,500

Now the Cash paid to supplier is

= Beginning account payable + purchases - ending account payable

= $15,000 + $142,500 - $14,500

= $143,000

hence the cash paid to supplier is $143,000
