Question

Ratchet Manufacturing anticipates total sales for August, September, and October of $200,000, $210,000, and $220,500 respectively. Cash sales are normally 25% of total sales and the remaining sales are on credit. All credit sales are collected in the first month after the sale. Compute the amount of accounts receivable to be reported on the company's budgeted balance sheet for August.

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of accounts receivable which is to be reported on the company's budgeted balance sheet for August is $150,000

Explanation:

For computing the account receivable balance for the august month, the following adjustment is required which is shown below:

= August sales × credit sale percentage

where,

August sale is $200,000

And, the credit sale percentage is 75% because 25% is cash sale and the remaining 75% is a credit sale

So,

the accounts receivable would be equals to

= $200,000 × 0.75

= $150,000

Hence, the amount of accounts receivable which is to be reported on the company's budgeted balance sheet for August is $150,000
