Jaydin Dalton · Answer 1

Amount of cash collections from credit sales would the company include in its cash budget for the second month is $55,500

Explanation:

The amount of cash collections from credit sales in the second month = 60% x credit sales in the second month + 35% x credit sales in the first month.

The company has credit sales in the first and the second month of of $42,000 and $68,000, respectively.

The amount of cash collections from credit sales in the second month = 60% x $68,000 + $42,000 x 35% = $55,500

Second Month Cash Collections will include the following Cash flows:

(1) 60% of the 2nd month's sales

(2) 35 % of the 1st month's sales

Therefore cash collections from credit sales:

(1) 60% of the 2nd month's sales ($68,000*60%) = $40,800

(2) 35 % of the 1st month's sales ($42,000 * 35 %) = $14,700

Total cash collections = $55,500
