Mitchell Company had the following budgeted sales for the last half of last year: |
Cash Sales | Credit Sales | |
July | $30,000 | $130,000 |
August | $35,000 | $150,000 |
September | $41,000 | $110,000 |
October | $46,000 | $141,000 |
November | $56,000 | $180,000 |
December | $60,000 | $310,000 |
The company is in the process of preparing a cash budget and must determine the expected cash collections by month. To this end, the following information has been assembled:
|
Collections on credit sales: |
50% in month of sales |
40% in month of following sales |
10.0% in second month following sales |
Assume that the accounts receivable balance on July 1 was $67,000. Of this amount, $56,000 represented uncollected June sales and $11,000 represented uncollected May sales. Given these data, the total cash collected during July would be:
|
→ | $150,800 |
$112,000 | |
$195,000 |
Cash collections for July:
June credit sales collected in July ($112,000* × 40%) | $ 44,800 |
May credit sales collected in July | 11,000 |
July cash sales | 30,000 |
July credit sales in July ($130,000 × 50%) | 65,000 |
Total cash collections in July |
$150,800
|
*Accounts receivables representing June credit sales = $56,000 = (40% + 10.0%) × June credit sales
|
June credit sales = $56,000 ÷ (40% + 10.0%) = $112,000 |
