Problem:
Dino Corp had cost of goods sold of $300,000 for the year ended Dec 31, 2002 and an ending inventory balance of $50,000. The beginning balances in inventory and A/P were $20,000 and $16,000 respectively. Dino finances 80% of its inventory purchases with trade A/P, incurs purchase ratably throughout the year, and consistently pays for its purchases 30 days after acquisition. What was the amount of cash paid on A/P during the year ended Dec 31, 2002?
