Answer 1

57,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Planet company purchases goods worth $50,000July and also expect to purchase goods worth $70,000 in August

They pay 35% of tbs purchase in the month and 75% in the following month

Therefore the total expected cash disbursement can be calculated as follows

= (70,000×35/100)+(50,000+65/100)

= {70,000×0.35) + (50,000+0.65)

= 24,500+32,500

= 57,000
