Question

Hewitt Company expects cash sales for July of​ $11,000, and a​ 19% monthly increase during August and September. Credit sales of​ $14,000 in July should be followed by​ 28% increases during August and September. What are budgeted cash sales and budgeted credit sales for September​ respectively?

Answer 1

The correct answer for cash sales is $15,577.1 and credit sales is $22,937.6

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Cash sales for July = $11,000

Increase rate = 19%

So, Cash sales for August = $11,000 × 119% = $13,090

Now, Cash sales for September = $13,090 × 119% = $15,577.1

Credit sales for July = $14,000

Increase rate = 28%

So, Credit sales for August = $14,000 × 128% = $17,920

Now, Credit sales for September = $17,920 × 128% = $22,937.6
