Solution

To calculate the estimated amount of cash receipts from accounts receivable collections in April, we need to consider the collections from both March and April's credit sales, as well as the collections for credit sales prior to March.

  1. First, calculate the estimated collections in April for credit sales in March: 159,000(Marchcreditsales)70159,000 (March credit sales) * 70% (estimated collection rate) = 111,300

  2. Next, calculate the estimated collections in April for credit sales in April: 268,000(Aprilcreditsales)25268,000 (April credit sales) * 25% (estimated collection rate) = 67,000

  3. Add the estimated collections in April for credit sales prior to March: 111,300(fromstep1)+111,300 (from step 1) + 67,000 (from step 2) + 15,000(collectionsforsalespriortoMarch)=15,000 (collections for sales prior to March) = 193,300

  4. Subtract the estimated write-offs in April for uncollectible credit sales and the estimated provision for bad debts in April for credit sales in April: 193,300(fromstep3)193,300 (from step 3) - 11,420 (write-offs) - 10,430(provisionforbaddebts)=10,430 (provision for bad debts) = 171,450

So, the estimated amount of cash receipts from accounts receivable collections in April is $171,450.
