Question

Shalimar Company manufactures and sells industrial products. For next year, Shalimar has budgeted the following sales:

Quarter 1 $4,600,000
Quarter 2 5,100,000
Quarter 3 5,000,000
Quarter 4 7,600,000

In Shalimar's experience, 10 percent of sales are paid in cash. Of the sales on account, 65 percent are collected in the quarter of sale, 25 percent are collected in the quarter following the sale, and 7 percent are collected in the second quarter after the sale. The remaining 3 percent are never collected. Total sales for the third quarter of the current year are $4,900,000 and for the fourth quarter of the current year are $6,850,000.
