Question

Dragon 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 June, July, and August were $120,000, $160,000, and $220,000, respectively, what were the firm's budgeted collections for August and the company's budgeted receivables balance on August 31?

Answer 1

Answer: $174000

Step-by-step explanation:

The firm's budgeted collections for August and the company's budgeted receivables balance on August 31 would be calculated as:

= (30% × $220,000) + (60% × $160,000) + (10% × $120,000)

= (0.3 × $220,000) + (0.6 × $160,000) + (0.1 × $120,000)

= $66000 + $96000 + $12000

= $174000
