What are the projected cash collections for the month of December?

Answer 1

Answer:

The projected cash collections for the month of December is $ 65,750.

Explanation:

Projected cash flows for the month of December = 25% of october credit sales + 65% of November credit sales

5% of December credit sales

= (72000*25%) + (68000*65%) + (71000*5%)

= $ 65,750.

 Total percentage as per given question, is only 95% but not 100%.

Also, credit sales collections upto second following month of Actual date of sale. So, september month sale  is not considered.
