Question

Silver Corporation has provided the following information concerning its raw materials purchases. The budgeted cost of raw materials purchases in November is $286,032. The company pays for 40% of its raw materials purchases in the month of purchase and 60% in the following month. The budgeted accounts payable balance at the end of November is closest to _________?

Answer 1

$171,619.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the budgeted accounts payable balance at the end of November is shown below:

= Budgeted cost of raw materials purchases in November × following month percentage

= $286,032 × 60%

= $171,619.20

As 40% is paid in the month of purchase whereas 60% is paid to the following month. So, we recognized 60%, not 40%
