Of the credit sales, 25% are collected in the same month as the sale, 60% are collected during the first month after the sale, and the remaining 15% are collected in the second month after the sale. Determine the amount of accounts receivable reported on the company’s budgeted balance sheet as of July 31.

Answer 1

Answer:

$117,600

Explanation:

Given that the company  has Cash sales that are normally 60% of total sales and Of the credit sales, 25% are collected in the same month as the sale, 60% are collected during the first month after the sale, and the remaining 15% are collected in the second month after the sale

In June, total sales $370,000

Amount that would not have been collected from this sale at the end of July

= 40% * 15% * $370,000

= $22,200

In July, total sales is $318,000,

Amount that would not have been collected from this sale at the end of July

= 40% *75% *  $318,000

= $95,400

Hence the amount of accounts receivable reported on the company’s budgeted balance sheet as of July 31

= $22,200 + $95,400

= $117,600
