Answer:

Explanation:

The merchandise purchase can be determined by using the formula:

Purchase = Cash payments + Ending Accounts Payable - Beginning Accounts Payable

For June:

Purchase = $(1490000 + 200000 - 150000)

Purchase = $(1690000 -  150000)

Purchase = $1540000

For July:

Purchases: $(1425000+235000 - 200000)

Purchases =  $(1660000 - 200000)

Purchases = $1460000

For August:

Purchases: $(1495000 + 195000 - 235000)

Purchases: $(1690000 - 2235000)

Purchases: $1455000

The cost of goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchase - Ending inventory

For June:

Cost of goods sold= $(250000 + 1540000 - 400000)

Cost of goods sold= $(1790000 - 400000)

Cost of goods sold = $1390000

For July:

Cost of goods sold = $(400000 + 1460000 - 300000)

Cost of goods sold = $(1860000 -  300000)

Cost of goods sold = $1560000

For August:

Cost of good sold = $(300000+ 1455000 - 330000)

Cost of good sold = $(1755000 - 330000)

Cost ofgood sold = $1425000
