Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate total budgeted cash payments for selling and administrative expenses for the month of April, we need to first calculate the cash payments for each category of expenses.

Commission expenses:
- $10,000 x 60% = $6,000 paid in April
- $10,000 x 40% = $4,000 paid in May

Salary expenses:
- $18,000 x 50% = $9,000 paid in April
- $18,000 x 50% = $9,000 paid in May

Miscellaneous expenses, rent expense, and utility expenses:
Assumed to be paid in the same month in which they are incurred, so we do not need to calculate cash payments for these expenses.

Insurance:
Already paid in advance for the year on January 1, so we do not need to calculate cash payments for this expense.

Total budgeted cash payments for selling and administrative expenses in April:
$6,000 + $9,000 + $12,000 + $27,400 = $54,400

Therefore, the best choice is C) $54,400.
