Reframing the task: we need the total cash payments for March for Living Tanks, considering which items are cash outflows in March and which are non-cash. Start by listing the components that affect March cash payments. First, wages: 7 staff paid 4004 each per month, so monthly wages equal 7 × 4004 = 28,028. These are cash payments in March. Next, other fixed monthly cash costs: rent 1,356, advertising 584, and electricity/telephones 371. Depreciation 1,319 is a non-cash expense and should not be included in cash payments. Then, rent is special: it’s paid every 5 months and will be paid in March, so March includes rent of 1,356 as a cash outflow. Supplies vary with sales and are paid in the month of the sale, at 57% of March sales of 138,647, giving 0.57 × 138,647 = 79,028.79 as the supplies cash payment for March. Now, summing the cash outflows for March: wages 28,028 + rent 1,356 + advertising 584 + electricity/telephones 371 + supplies 79,028.79 equals 109,367.79. Therefore, the expected total cash payments for March are 109,367.79. If any item were a non-cash charge (like depreciation), it would be excluded, but here only depreciation is non-cash and we’ve excluded it. Double-checking arithmetic: 28,028 + 1,356 = 29,384; plus 584 = 29,968; plus 371 = 30,339; plus 79,028.79 = 109,367.79. All components line up with the given data and the required rounding to two decimals.
