Answer:

$31,000

Step-by-step explanation:

decrease in accounts receivable = $1,000

Sales = $30,000

Cash collected from customers = Sales plus decrease in accounts receivables

= $30,000 + $1000

= $31,000

The decrease in account receivables represents the collection of cash from a customer. If sales amount to $30,000, all must have been collected in cash hence no amount was outstanding to increase receivables. Hence the addition of the two items gives the cash collected from customers.
