  2. Calculate the amount of sales on credit: 55% of 238,000=238,000 = 130,900.

  3. Determine the amount of credit sales collected in October: 50% of 130,900=130,900 = 65,450.

  4. Calculate the remaining credit sales to be collected in November: 130,900130,900 - 65,450 = $65,450.

  5. Add the remaining credit sales to the budgeted Accounts Receivable on September 30: 62,000+62,000 + 65,450 = $127,450.
