Answer:
$593,000
Explanation:
Given data for Schneider Inc.
Salaries payable at the beginning of 2018 (end of 2017) = $61,600
Salary expense during the year (2018) = $621,400
Salary payable at end of year (2018) = $90,000
Salaries paid = ?
Let the salaries paid = S
Using the formula
Salaries payable at the beginning of 2018 + Salary expense during the year - Salaries paid = Salary payable at end of year
$61,600 + $621,400 - S = $90,000
S = $61,600 + $621,400 - $90,000
S = $593,000
Cash outflows for salaries in 2018 were $593,000.
