Graham Potato Company has projected sales of $9,600 in
September, $13,000 in October, $19,600 in November, and $15,600 in
December. Of the company's sales, 30 percent are paid for by cash
and 70 percent are sold on credit. Experience shows that 40 percent
of accounts receivable are paid in the month after the sale, while
the remaining 60 percent are paid two months after. Determine
collections for November and December.
Also assume Graham’s cash payments for November and December are
$16,500 and $9,000, respectively. The beginning cash balance in
November is $5,000, which is the desired minimum balance.
