Ruiz Co.’s budget includes the following credit sales for the current year: September, $152,000; October, $143,000; November, $127,000; December, $164,000. Credit sales are collected as follows: 10% in the month of sale, 60% in the first month after sale, and 30% in the second month after sale. How much cash can the company expect to collect in December as a result of current and past credit sales?
Answer - $135,500
explanation:
given,
September = $152,000; October = $143,000; November = $127,000; December = $164,000
Conditions -
1. 10% in the month of sale - December sale = $164,000 * 10% = $16,400
2. 60% in the first month after sale,
therefore, December will be first month of the sale of the month of November's collection
= $127,000 * 60%
= $76,200
3. 30% in the second month after sale,
therefore, December will be second month of the sale of the month of October's collection
= $143,000 * 30%
= $42,900
Therefore, December's collection = ($16,400 + $76,200 + $42,900)
= $135,500
