The August's cash disbursements for materials purchases would be

$172,500.00 for Vaughn Manufacturing

Explanation:

The cash disbursements in the month of August consist of the three-fourth cost of the August purchases and the one-fourth of the July purchases since the 3/4 of the cost of materials purchased is paid in the same month as purchases and the balance of 1/4 of purchase cost in the succeeding month

Cash disbursements in August = ($170,000*3/4) + ($180,000*1/4) = $127500 + $45,000=$172,500.00
