Under the direct method, the cash received from customers is:____.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cash received from customers under the direct method is $8,256,000.

Explanation:

Given:

Beginning accounts receivable = Accounts receivable on 12/31/21 = $216,000

Ending accounts receivable = Accounts receivable on 12/31/22 = $360,000

Sales revenue = $8,400,000

Therefore, we have:

Cash received from customers = Beginning accounts receivable + Sales revenue - Ending accounts receivable = $216,000 + $8,400,000 - $360,000 = $8,256,000

Therefore, the cash received from customers under the direct method is $8,256,000.
