Sexton, Corp., has projected the following sales for the coming year: Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Sales $ 860 $ 940 $ 900 $ 1,000 Sales in the year following this one are projected to be 15 percent greater in each quarter. a. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming that the company places orders during each quarter equal to 30 percent of projected sales for the next quarter. Assume that the company pays immediately. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.) b. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 90-day payables period.

                                                   Q1               Q2             Q3            Q4

a. Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

b. Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

c. Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Explanation:

Given:

                              Q1                Q2           Q3           Q4

Sales ($)               860              940         900         1,000

Therefore, we  have:

a. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming that the company places orders during each quarter equal to 30 percent of projected sales for the next quarter. Assume that the company pays immediately. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

This is done as follows:

                                                 Q1                Q2           Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

b. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 90-day payables period. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

A 90-day payables period implies that the payment has be made within the next 90 days or within one quarter or the same quarter. Therefore, we have:

                                                 Q1               Q2             Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

c. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 60-day payables period.

A 60-day payables period implies the payment for the Order in each of the quarters has to be made in the same quarter.

Therefore, we have:

                                                 Q1               Q2             Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Note:

It can be observed that the answer look the same for all the questions.
