Sagot :

Answer:

$171,000

Explanation:

Purchases in February = ($120,000 * 25%) + ($180,000 -$180,000*25%)

Purchases in February = $30,000 + $135,000

Purchases in February = $165,000

Payment in February = ($180,000 * 40%) + ($165,000 * 60%)

Payment in February = $72,000 + $99,000

Payment in February = $171,000

So, the bdgeted cash payments for inventory in February 2014 will be $171,000.
