Question

Gallonte Inc. began operations in April of this year. It makes all sales on account, subject to the following collection pattern: 30% are collected in the month of sale; 60% are collected in the first month after sale; and 10% are collected in the second month after sale. If sales for April, May, and June were $60,000, $80,000, and $70,000, respectively, what were the firm's budgeted collections for May

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cash collection May= $60,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash collection:

30% are collected in the month of sale

60% are collected in the first month after sale

10% are collected in the second month after sale.

Sales:

April= $60,000

May= $80,000

We need to calculate the cash collection for May:

Cash collection:

Sales in cash May= (80,000*0.3)= 24,000

Sales in account from April= (60,000*0.6)= 36,000

Total cash collection May= $60,000
