Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the balance of accounts payable on the June 30 budgeted balance sheet, we need to determine the inventory purchases for June and how much of those purchases are unpaid by the end of June. 1. Calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS) for each month:   - April COGS = $190,000 * 80% = $152,000   - May COGS = $280,000 * 80% = $224,000   - June COGS = $130,000 * 80% = $104,000   - July COGS = $230,000 * 80% = $184,0002. Calculate the ending inventory for June:   - Ending inventory for June = $55,000 + 10% of July COGS = $55,000 + ($184,000 * 10%) = $55,000 + $18,400 = $73,4003. Calculate the inventory purchases for June:   - Inventory needed for July = July COGS + Ending inventory for June - Beginning inventory for June   - Beginning inventory for June = Ending inventory for May   - Ending inventory for May = $55,000 + 10% of June COGS = $55,000 + ($104,000 * 10%) = $55,000 + $10,400 = $65,400   - Inventory needed for July = $184,000 + $73,400 - $65,400 = $192,000   - Inventory purchases for June = Inventory needed for July = $192,0004. Calculate the accounts payable balance on June 30:   - 28% of June's inventory purchases are paid in June, so 72% are unpaid and thus part of accounts payable.   - Accounts payable for June = 72% of June's inventory purchases = 72% of $192,000 = $138,240However, there's an error in the final calculation step. The correct calculation for the accounts payable balance on June 30 should consider the payments made for June's purchases and the remaining balance from May's purchases:- For May's purchases, 72% is paid in June, so we need to calculate May's purchases first:  - Inventory needed for June = June COGS + Ending inventory for June - Beginning inventory for May  - Inventory purchases for May = Inventory needed for June - (Ending inventory for May - Beginning inventory for May)  - Since we don't directly calculate May's purchases in the steps provided, we focus on the June purchases and their payment.Given the options provided and the calculation error noted, the correct answer seems to be based on a different calculation method or an incorrect interpretation of the calculation steps. The correct approach involves calculating the payable based on the portion of June's purchases unpaid by the end of June and considering the payment structure for inventory purchases (28% in the month of purchase and 72% in the following month). Without the exact figures for May's purchases and payments, we cannot accurately calculate June's accounts payable based on the provided steps. The correct answer should involve recalculating based on the correct interpretation of the payment terms and the inventory purchase requirements for June, considering the error noted in the final step's calculation.
