Computation of the total cash disbursements in August:-

Cost of goods sold in July = $50,000 * 50%

= $25,000

Cost of goods sold in August = $40,000 * 50%

= $20,000

July purchases = Cost of goods sold + Ending stock - Beginning stock

= $25,000 + ($20,000 * 70%) - ($25,000 * 70%)

= $25,000 + $14,000 - $17,500

= $21,500

Total cash disbursements = July purchases + Wages + Rent + Others

= $21,500 + $1,500 + $500 + $500

= $24,000

Correct option is a) $24,000
