Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the percentage of amount due for each month is shown below:

= (Month wise amount due) ÷ (Total receivables) × 100

For April:

= ($156,240) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

= 40%

For March:

= ($78,120) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

= 20%

For February:

= ($117,180) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

= 30%

For January:

= ($39,060) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

= 10%
