    The accounts receivable balance on May 31 is $17850

    Explanation:

    First we need to determine the amount of credit sales for the month of May. The credit sales for May will be 70% of the total sales for May. Thus, the credit sales for May are,

    Credit sales - May = 34000 * 0.7 = $23800

    The accounts receivable balance at the end of May will contain the amount due from credit sales that are made in May that are still not collected and will be collected in the next month as per the company's policy.

    Accounts receivable at the end of May = 23800 * 0.75 = $17850
