• Drew purchases and pays for merchandise 30% in the month of acquisition and 70% in the following month.

How much cash is budgeted to be received during August?

Answer 1

$312,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

August Sales = $300,000

July sales = $330,000

Customer amounts on account are collected 60% in the month of sale and 40% in the following month.

Cash Receipts during August:

= (August Sales × 60%) + (July Sales × 40%)

= ($300,000 × 60%) + ($330,000 × 40%)

= $180,000 + $132,000

= $312,000

Therefore, the cash is budgeted to be received during August is $312,000.
