Merchandise purchases are paid in full during the month following purchase. Accounts payable for merchandise purchases on June 30, which will be paid during July, total $139,398. Salaries, Advertising and Rent Payment expenses are all paid in cash in the month incurred. Depreciation expense is shown on the income statement each month. Equipment costing $10,498 will be purchased for cash during August. Calculate total cash payments budgeted for August.

A lot of information is missing, so I looked for a similar example. If the numbers are not exactly the same, just adjust the differences.

Direct materials purchases:

Salaries, Advertising and Rent (paid during the month):

Depreciation expense is not included because it is not a cash outflow.

Other purchases:

Fein Company

Schedule of Cash Payments

For the Month of August 202x

Direct materials:

Total direct materials            $154,400

Other purchases:

Equipment for                         $10,498

Total other purchases            $10,498

Fixed expenses:

Advertising                              $12,000

Rent                                          $8,000

Interests on debt                      $1,550

Total fixed expenses             $56,640

Total cash payments            $221,538

the answer would be voluntary exchange -

"the act of buyers and sellers freely and willingly engaging in market transactions. moreover, transactions are made in such a way that both the buyer and the seller are better off after the exchange than before it occurred."
