d. $8,632.13
e. $7,326.74

Answer 1

Answer: c. $9,937.52

Step-by-step explanation:

The Accounts receivable balance can be calculated by;

= Outfits per years * Average Price * (Collection period/365)

Collection period;

71% take the discount which means that they pay in 15 days while the rest pay in 40.

= (71% * 15) + (29% * 40)

= 22.25 days

Accounts Receivable balance = 1,140 * 143 * (22.25/365)

= $9,937.52
