Total disbursement for Q2 $579,43‬

Explanation:

We will assume the sales are purchase are uniform during the year.

therefore days 1-30 sales are paid within the quarter

and day 31 to 90 are paid the next quarter:

Q1:

Purchase for Q2 x 65% = 660 x 65% = 429

Q2:

dividends = 60 dollars

wages taxes and other 660 x 16% = 105.6‬

payment to suppliers

remainder of next quarter:

660 x 65% x 2/3 =286

payment of this quarter purchase:

590 x 65% x 1/3 = 383,5 x 1/3 = 127,83

Total disbursements:

60 + 105.6 + 286 + 127.83 = 579,43‬
