Respuesta :

Answer:

Hence, The total cash receipts collected during March will be $17,800

Explanation:

The computation of total cash receipts during march month is shown below:

= March cash sale + February credit sale + March credit sale

20% of march sale is cash sale

80% of march sale is credit sale

The credit sale of march month :

February sale = 80% × 70% of February sale

March credit sale = 80% × 30% of march sale

where,

Cash sale = $15,000 × 20 = $3,000

February credit sale = 80% × $20,000 × 70% = $11,200

March credit sale = 80% × $15,000 × 30% = $3,600

Now,

Put the above values in the given question which is equals to

= $3,000 + $11,200 + $3,600

= $17,800

Hence, The total cash receipts collected during March will be $17,800
