To calculate the budgeted balance of accounts payable at the end of October, we need to consider the payments that are due in October and those that will be carried over to the next month. For October, 50% of September's purchases and 10% of August's purchases are still payable.- 50% of September's purchases: 0.50 * $76,000 = $38,000- 10% of August's purchases: 0.10 * $78,100 = $7,810Adding these amounts gives us the total accounts payable at the end of October: $38,000 + $7,810 = $45,810. However, since this specific answer is not available among the choices and considering the closest match principle often applied in multiple-choice questions, there might have been a calculation or interpretation error in the initial explanation. Given the options, the closest and correct approach should involve considering the correct percentages and months for the calculation. The correct calculation involves accurately applying the percentages to the respective months' purchases, and the correct answer should reflect the sum of these calculations.
