Explanation:

Monthly Purchases are as follows;

April =$156,800

May= $195,200

June= $217,600

Since Admin expenses are paid every month,

April =$28,800

May = $28,800

June =$28,800

75% of April purchases will be paid in April . Use these to calculate the payments;

Pmts

April = 75%* $156,800 = $117,600

add Admin expenses to find total cash payments;

APRIL = $117,600+ $28,800 = $146,400

In May,20% of April purchases will be paid ,  75% of  May purchases will also be paid plus admin expenses. Use these to calculate the payments;

May= (20%* $156,800) + (75% * $195,200) + $28,800

MAY = 31360 +146400 +28800 = $206,560
