Explanation:

Months                            September             October           November

Sales                                $249,000             $304,000          $410,000

Cash Collected (25%)         62,250                  76,000             102,500

⇒ Sales on Account       $186,750             $228,000         $307,500

Collections of Rec.

Last Month (30%)                                                                         68,400                                              

Current Month (70%)                                                                  215,250

Total Collections                                                                      $386,150

Workings for November:

Last Month Collection = 228,000 * .3 = 68,400

Current Month Collection = 307,500 * .7 = 215,250

Total Collections = 68,300 + 215,250 + 102,500 = $386,150.

I hope the format and alignment remain the same. Thanks!

Answer 2

Answer:

c) $386,150

Explanation:                                                                             $

Cash sales (25%) = 25% × 410,000                             =   102,500

Sales on Account:

70% month of sale = 70% * (100-25)% × $410,000     = 215,250

30% month after sale = 30% × (100-25%) × $304,000 =  68,400

Total cash collection for Nov.                                        386,150

Total cash collection for November:  

=102,500 + 215,250 + 68,400

= $386,150
