Operating expenses other that COGS paid in the month of April are: 10% of March's sales, the advertising monthly payment, monthly salaries, the quarterly insurance payment and the property tax payment made twice a year. Depreciation is not a cash expense and is therefore not included in calculation. The disbursements are: $70,000 for variable operating expenses (March sales of $700,000 × 10%), $60,000 for advertising ($720,000 ÷ 12), $90,000 for salaries ($1,080,000 ÷ 12), $45,000 for insurance ($180,000 ÷ 4), and $120,000 for property taxes ($240,000 ÷ 2). The total amount of disbursements in April is $385,000. This answer incorrectly includes depreciation. Depreciation is not a cash expenditure. See the correct answer for a complete explanation.
