May $124,000

June $136,800

B. $13,800

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Calculation to Complete the schedule of cash payments for inventory purchases

April May June

Payment for current accounts payable

$95,400 $113,400 $124,200

Payment for previous accounts payable

$7,000 $10,600 $12,600

Total Budgeted payments for inventory

$102,400 $124,000 $136,800

Workings:

Payment for current accounts payable

April 95,400

May 126,000*90% =113,400

June 138,000*90=124,200

Payment for previous accounts payable

April 7,000

May 106,000*10%=10,600

June 126,000*10%=12,600

b. Calculation to Determine the amount of accounts payable that the company will report on its pro forma balance sheet

Accounts payable amount=$ 138,000 June purchase amount x 10% to be paid in July

Account payable amount=$13,800

Therefore the amount of accounts payable the company will report on its pro forma balance sheet at the end of the second quarter will be $13,800
