Explanation / Answer

Answer (a) At the end of the December the account receivable $82000 consist

account receivable for december = $52000

account receivable for november = $30000

Account receivable for nov represent only 15%($30000) which would not be received till december.

So the sale of november = 30000 * 100/15 = $200000

(b) Sales for December - $52000 * 100/ 100-55 = $ 115555.55

(c) Cash collection

In month of January

November = $20000 *15/100 = $30000

December = $115555.55 * 30/100 = $34666.665

January = $198000 *55/100 = $108900

Total = 173566.67

In the month of February

December = $115555.55 * 15/100 = $17333.32

January = $198000 *30/100 = $59400

February = $218000 *55/100 = $119900

Total = $196633.32

In the month of March

January = $198000 *15/100 = $29700

February = $218000 *30/100 = $65400

March = $241000 *55/100 = $132550

Total = $227650
