Assume a year has 360 days. Multiple Choice $167 $178 $184 $212 $207

Respuesta :

Answer:

$178

Explanation:

projected sales

  • quarter 1: $960
  • quarter 2: $890
  • quarter 3: $980
  • quarter 4: $1,050

accounts receivables at beginning of the year $212, collection period 18 days

for quarter 1:

cash collections = opening receivables + sales x [(90 days - 18 days)] / 90 days = $212 + $960 x 80% = $980

ending receivables = opening receivables + total sales - cash collections = $212 + $960 - $980 = $192

for quarter 2:

cash collections = opening receivables + sales x [(90 days - 18 days)] / 90 days = $192 + $890 x 80% = $904

ending receivables = opening receivables + total sales - cash collections = $192 + $890 - $904 = $178
