They expect the following business costs (including materials, labour, overhead and selling and administration costs) in the next year:

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Budget business costs $15,071 $17,600 $17,466 $19,959

All business costs are incurred on credit. AquaCool pays for 60% of the costs in the quarter they are incurred and 40% in the following quarter.

To determine the budget cash payments in Q2, we need to consider how costs are paid across quarters.
First, identify the portion of Q1 costs paid in Q2. Since AquaCool pays 40% of costs in the following quarter, 40% of Q1 budgeted costs are paid in Q2: 0.40 × 15,071 = 6,028.4.
Next, determine the portion of Q2 costs paid in Q2. The policy states 60% of costs are paid in the quarter they are incurred, so 0.60 × 17,600 = 10,560.
Now, combine the two cash flows that occur in Q2: 6,028.4 (from Q1) plus 10,560 (from Q2) = 16,588.4.
Finally, apply rounding as required: round the total to the nearest dollar. 16,588.4 rounds to 16,588.
These steps assume all costs are incurred on credit and the specified payment timing applies uniformly across all line items. The calculation aligns with the given proportions in each quarter and uses standard rounding rules for the final amount.
