Schedule of Cash Collections of Accounts Receivable

OfficeMart Inc. has "cash and carry" customers and credit customers. OfficeMart estimates that 30% of monthly sales are to cash customers, while the remaining sales are to credit customers. Of the credit customers, 20% pay their accounts in the month of sale, while the remaining 80% pay their accounts in the month following the month of sale. Projected sales for the next three months are as follows:

October	$117,000
November	146,000
December	214,000

The Accounts Receivable balance on September 30 was $78,000.
