Answer 1

Solution

The calculations has been made as follows,

Statement of Expected Collections from Customers
Month	January (Amount in $)	February (Amount in $)
November	250,000 * 20% = 50,000	-
December	320,000 * 30% = 96,000	320,000 * 20% = 64,000
January	360,000 * 50% = 180,000	360,000 * 30% = 108,000
February	-	400,000 * 50% = 200,000
Total Collections	326,000	372,000

Statement of Expected Payments for Direct Materials
Month	January (Amount in $)	February (Amount in $)
December	100,000 * 40% = 40,000	-
January	120,000 * 60% = 72,000	120,000 * 40% = 48,000
February	-	125,000 * 60% = 75,000
Total Payments	112,000	123,000
