Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cash payments to suppliers can be calculated by adjusting the cost of goods purchased for changes in inventory and accounts payable. The formula is: Cash Payments = Cost of Goods Purchased + Decrease in Inventory - Increase in Accounts Payable. Therefore, $250,000 + $10,000 - $20,000 = $240,000. However, since the choices do not include $240,000, the closest logical choice is $230,000, assuming a possible error in the options provided.
