Solution

To calculate the total cash receipts collected during March, we need to consider both the sales made in March and the sales made in February.

  1. First, calculate the credit sales for February and March. The company expects 80% of the sales to be on account, so for February (20,0000.8=20,000 * 0.8 = 16,000) and for March (15,0000.8=15,000 * 0.8 = 12,000).

  2. Next, calculate the cash collected from sales in each month. In the month of the sale, the company collects 30% of the credit sales, and in the following month, it collects the remaining 70%.

  3. For February sales, the company would collect 70% in March (16,0000.7=16,000 * 0.7 = 11,200).

  4. For March sales, the company would collect 30% in March (12,0000.3=12,000 * 0.3 = 3,600).

  5. Finally, add the amounts collected from February and March sales to get the total cash receipts collected during March (11,200+11,200 + 3,600 = $14,800).

So, the total cash receipts collected during March will be $14,800.
