Solution

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS) for April and May:

April COGS = April Sales * 40% = 600,00040600,000 * 40% = 240,000 May COGS = May Sales * 40% = 580,00040580,000 * 40% = 232,000

Next, we calculate the ending inventory for April, which should be 150% of May's COGS:

April Ending Inventory = May COGS * 150% = 232,000150232,000 * 150% = 348,000

The cost of purchases in April is the sum of April's COGS and April's ending inventory:

April Purchases = April COGS + April Ending Inventory = 240,000+240,000 + 348,000 = $588,000

Finally, we calculate the cash disbursements for purchases in April. 60% of purchases are paid in the month of purchase:

Cash Disbursements in April = April Purchases * 60% = 588,00060588,000 * 60% = 352,800

Therefore, the cash disbursements for purchases in April are $352,800.
