Problem
Silver Company makes a product that is very popular as a Mother's Day gift. Thus, peak sales occur in May of each year, as shown in the company's sales budget for the second quarter given below:
April May June Total
Budgeted sales (all on account) $310,000 $510,000 $160,000 $980,000
From past experience, the company has learned that 25% of a month's sales are collected in the month of sale, another 60% are collected in the month following sale, and the remaining 15% are collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts are negligible and can be ignored. February sales totaled $240,000, and March sales totaled $270,000.
Required:
1. Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections from sales, by month and in total, for the second quarter.
2. Assume that the company will prepare a budgeted balance sheet as of June 30. Compute the accounts receivable as of that date.
