Faucet Company reported the following information for 2008: October November December Budgeted sales $620,000 $580,000 $720,000 All sales are on credit. Customer amounts on account are collected 50% in the month of sale and 50% in the following month. How much cash will Faucet receive in November

Answer 1

Answer:

Cash receipt for the month of November is $600000

Explanation:

The receipt of the cash will be such that the sales made in a particular month will be calculated half in the month of sale and half in the next month. Thus, the cash receipt from the accounts receivables for the month of November will be,

Cash received from the October sales = 620000 * 0.5 = $310000

Cash received from the November sales = 580000 * 0.5 = $290000

Total cash receipt in the month of November will be,

Cash receipt - November = 310000 + 290000

Cash receipt - November = $600000
