Prepare a schedule of cash collections for May through July. b. Compute the expected balance in Accounts Receivable as of July 31.

Explanation / Answer

as of may 60% is collected : 0.60 * 60000 =36000$
in june 60% of june and 35% of may is collected = 0.6 * 80000 + 0.35 * 60000=48000+21000
=69000
in july 60%of july and 35% of june is collected = 0.6*85000 + 0.35 * 80000 = 79000$

total receivables = 60000+80000+85000=225000$
but received money = 36000+69000+79000 = 184000$
amount receivables as of july 31 = 225000-184000 = $ 41000
