Silver Company makes a product that is very popular as a Mother’s Day gift. Thus, peak sales occur in May of each year, as shown in the company’s sales budget for the second quarter given below:


    April   May   June   Total
Budgeted sales (all on account)   $330,000     $530,000     $210,000     $1,070,000


From past experience, the company has learned that 25% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, another 60% are collected in the month following sale, and the remaining 15% are collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts are negligible and can be ignored. February sales totaled $260,000, and March sales totaled $290,000.


Required:
1.  
Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections from sales, by month and in total, for the second quarter.
      

2.  
Assume that the company will prepare a budgeted balance sheet as of June 30. Compute the accounts receivable as of that date.

Explanation / Answer

1.   Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections from sales, by month and in total, for the second quarter.

      

2.   Assume that the company will prepare a budgeted balance sheet as of June 30. Compute the accounts receivable as of that date

Accounts receivable as of that date = May Sale*15% + June Sale*(60%+15%)

Accounts receivable as of that date = 530000*15% + 210000*75%

Accounts receivable as of that date = $ 237000

Schedule of Expected Cash Collections        April        May        June        Quarter - Total    February sales                        39,000                          39,000    March sales                      174,000                         43,500                        217,500    April sales                        82,500                      198,000                                      49,500                        330,000    May sales                      132,500                                   318,000                        450,500    June sales                                      52,500                          52,500    Total cash collections                      295,500                      374,000                                   420,000                    1,089,500
