e. $105,000

Respuesta :

Answer:

b. $ 90,000.

Explanation:

Since the company pays half of the purchased amount at the time of purchase and the remainder in the following month. Cash disbursements in August are expected to be half of the amount purchased in July plus half of the amount purchased in August. Expected cash disbursements are:

[tex]E=\frac{100,000}{2}+ \frac{80,000}{2}\\ E=\$90,000[/tex]

The answer is alternative b. $ 90,000.
