Giving the following information:

Budgeted sales for the first three months of business are $250,000, $320,000, and $410,000, respectively, for September, October, and November. The company expects to sell 25% of its merchandise for cash. Of sales on account, 70% are expected to be collected in the month of the sale, 30% in the month following the sale.

Cash collection:

Cash = 320,000*0,25 = 80,000

Account = (320,000*0.75) * 0.7 = 168,000

From September = (250,000*0.75) * 0.3 = 56,250

Total = $304,250
