a. What is the total expected cash collection for Feb?
b. What is the expected Accounts Receivable balance for March 31, 2019?
A. Calculation of expected cash collection for month Feb.
Jan Credit sales = total sales × 70% = 30000×70%=21000
Feb credit sales = 100000×70% =70000
March credit sales = 50000 ×70% = 35000
Particulars | calculation | amount in $ |
---|---|---|
Cash collection from previous month (jan credit sale × 80%) | 21000×80% | 16800 |
Cash sales in Current month (Feb sales ×30%) | 100000×30% | 30000 |
Collection from credit sale in current month (Feb credit sale × 20%) | 70000×20% | 14000 |
Total collection in Feb month | 60800 |
b. Calculation of expected account receivables balance on March 31.2019
Balance of account receivables will be 80%of credit sale in the March month. Because all the previous month credit sales will be paid off
balance as on 31.01.2019 = 35000×80% = 28000
