Anthony's supervisor is working on the company's budgeted balance sheet for quarter 2, and he delegates budgeting for the ending A/R balance to Anthony. He gets right to work, realizing that he can't determine the June 30 A/R balance without a schedule of cash receipts, and all of that hinges on the sales forecast. He gathers information about the company's collection policies and trends, along with relevant information from the sales department, as follows. - Sales volume is expected as follows: April, 570 units; May, 840 units; June, 720 units; and July, 765 units. - Average selling price is expected to be $65 per unit. - Historically, 25% of each month's sales are cash sales; all remaining sales are on credit. - 50% of each month's sales are credit card/debit card sales, subject to a 2% merchant fee. All appropriate receipts will be deposited into the company's account in the month of sale. - 25% of each month's sales are trade credit sales. 30% of trade credit customers pay their balance in the month of the sale, and 65% pay in full the month following the sale. 5% of trade credit sales go uncollected. - The A/R balance on March 31 was $11,800, reflecting the remaining collectible amount from March credit sales.
