Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
July's cash disbursement for materials purchase = 0.75 x $180000 = $135000
August's cash disbursement for materials purchased in August = 0.75 x $210000 = $157500
August's cash disbursement for materials purchased in July = 0.25 x $180000 = $45000
Total cash disbursement in August = $157500 + $45000 = $202500
