credit sales for April = $583,200
The company’s past experience indicates that 70% of the accounts receivable are collected in the month of sale, 20% in the month following the sale, and 8% in the second month following the sale.
By keeping the company’s past experience in mind, we can anticipate cash inflow for the month of March is as follows
The anticipated cash inflow for the month of March = 8% of cash inflow from January + 20% of cash inflow from February + 70% of cash inflow from March
= ($330,500 X 8%) + ($486,000 X 20%) + ($680,400 X 70%)
= $26,440 + $97,200 + $476,280

The anticipated cash inflow for the month of March is $599,920.
