totaled $64,300 : $54,600 paid to accounts payable as of June 30,$3,000 for July merchandise shipments, and $4,100 paid for
other expenses. Deposits during the same period amounted to $77,400, which consisted of receipts on account from
customers with the exception of a $1,500 refund from a vendor for merchandise returned in July.
Correspondence with suppliers revealed unrecorded obligations at July 15 of $28,700 for July merchandise shipments,
including $1,530 for shipments in transit (f.o.b. shipping point) on that date.
Customers acknowledged indebtedness of $157,800 at July 15,2026. It was also estimated that customers owed another
$13,300 that will never be acknowledged or recovered. Of the acknowledged indebtedness, $2,200 will probably be
