    (a) $349,800

    (b) $299,350

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    cost of goods sold during the month of June = $320,000

    Increase in the cost of goods sold during July = 9%

    Closing balance of June = $33,000

    Desired ending inventory balance for July = $34,000

    Accounts payable balance as of June 30 = $37,000

    (A) Amount of purchases budgeted for July:

    = Cost of goods sold + Closing inventory - Opening inventory

    = [$320,000 * (1 + 0.09) ] + $34,000 - $33,000

    = $348,800 + $34,000 - $33,000

    = $349,800

    (B) Amount of cash payments budgeted for inventory purchases in July:

    = Opening accounts receivables + 75% of purchases in July

    = $37,000 + (75% * $349,800)

    = $37,000 + $262,350

    = $299,350
