What are the total cash disbursements budgeted for operating expenses for the month of January

Answer :

Answer:

$20,600

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Depreciation is a non-cash item in the income statement as the actual cash spent for the purchase of the asset would have been capitalized in the balance sheet.

Hence the  total cash disbursements budgeted for operating expenses for the month of January would not include depreciation.

Total cash disbursements budgeted for operating expenses for the month of January

= $15,000 + $12,000 + (4% × $90,000)

= $15,000 + $12,000 + $3,600

= $20,600
