Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

Given that:

The cost of a product is 30% of the selling price

The carrying cost is 12% of the selling price

Payment Period = 90 days after sales date

Sale average per month = $30,000

we are to calculate the account receivable for this product.

Since the  Sale average per month = $30,000

The cost of the product will be =  30% × $30,000

The cost of the product = 0.3 × $30,000

The cost of the product = $9000

The carrying cost will be = 12% of $30,000

The carrying cost will be =  0.12 × $30,000

The carrying cost will be =  $3.600

The account receivable is the money owned to a particular company by  its debtors. The account receivable can be calculated as follows:

Since it tooks the accounts 90 days to be paid after sales date which is exactly 3 months and the average sale is $30,000 per month.

The account receivable = 3 × $30,000

The account receivable = $90,000
