Explanation / Answer

1) As 80% of the month's total sales is collected in the month of sale and remaining 20% of total sales is calculated in the month following the sale, the accounts receivable at the beginning of January will be 20% of total sale of december. Total sales for December 20X4 is calculated as follows:-

Total sales for December 20X4 = Accounts Receivable at the end of December/20%

= $10,000/20% = $50,000

2) Schedule of Cash Receipts (Amounts in $)

3) Accounts Receivable at the end of March will be equal to 20% of total sales of March (i.e. $90,000*20% = $18,000). Hence the amount of accounts receivable outstanding on March 31 is $18,000.
