February $33,000 $55,200
March $43,600 $79,800

Answer #1

As 70% of the credit sales is recovered in the next month of sale month the remaining 30% of the credit sales will be collected in the following second month of the sale month. Therefore credit sales of February will be outstanding 30% as on March 31st because 70% will be collected in march month and 30% will be collected in April month.

Also credit sales of march month will be fully outstanding as accounts receivable because 70% of it will be collected in April month and 30% of it will be collected in May month.

March 31 balance in account receivable will be

February = 55,200*30% = 16,560

March = 79,800

Total= $96,360

Therefore the correct answer is $96,360

Correct option is 2nd
