b) $469,000
c) $505,000
d) $519,000

Answer 1

correct option is a) $441,000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

Cash payments = $455,000

beginning accounts payable = $64,000

ending accounts payable = $50,000

solution

we use here T account equation and get accrual-basis purchases that is

ending accounts payable = beginning accounts payable + Accrual purchases - Cash payments .......................1

put here value we get

$50,000 = $64,000 + Accrual purchases - $455,000

solve it we get

Accrual purchases = $441,000

so correct option is a) $441,000
