Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


October Sales = 52500*.60*.05 = 1575 (yet to be collected)

+

November Sales = 63000*.60*.40 = 15120 (this will be collected in the month of December)


Accounts Receivable Balance at the End of November = 1575 + 15120 = 16695


Answer is 16695.


Thanks.
