Question

6. Farmerlands, Inc. has budgeted sales for the months of September and October at $303,000 and $289,000, respectively. Monthly sales are 80% credit and 20% cash. Of the credit sales, 50% are collected in the month of sale, and 50% are collected in the following month. Calculate cash collections for the month of October.

Answer 1

$294,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

September sales = $303,000

October sales = $289,000

Monthly sales are 80% credit and 20% cash.

Of the credit sales, 50% are collected in the month of sale, and 50% are collected in the following month.

Cash collections for the month of October:

= 20% of October sales + 50% of the credit sales in October + 50% of the credit sales in September

= (0.2 × $289,0000 + (0.5 × 0.8 × $289,000) + (0.5 × 0.8 × $303,000)

= $57,800 + $115,600 + $121,200

= $294,600
