During the month of July, the Town of Lynton recorded the following information related to purchases

	Amount of Purchase Order		Actual Cost
General government	$	559,000	$	499,000

Culture and recreation		63,270		63,320
Total purchase orders and invoices	$	2,330,315	$	1,763,813

Public Works in particular had a large amount of purchase orders outstanding because it had put in an order for delivery of paving materials to be delivered over the months of July and August. For all but Culture and Recreation, consider the amounts for purchase orders received the same as the actual cost of the items.
