Question

The Guitar Shoppe reports the following sales forecast: August, $150,000; September, $170,000. Cash sales are normally 30% of total sales, 55% are credit sales collected in the month following the sale, and the remaining 15% are credit sales that are written off as uncollectible. Prepare a schedule of cash receipts for September.

Answer 1

Thus Calculation of September Cash Receipts is as follows:

September Sales ( $170,000 × 30%) = $51,000

August Sales ( $150,000 × 55%) = $82,500

Total = $133,500

Step-by-step explanation:

September cash receipts will include the following :

1. 30% of September Sales
2. 55% of August Sales

Thus Calculation of September Cash Receipts is as follows:

September Sales ( $170,000 × 30%) = $51,000

August Sales ( $150,000 × 55%) = $82,500

Total = $133,500
