Explanation / Answer

Answer to Question 1.

Total Cash Inflow in January = (25% of January Sales) + (80% of December Credit Sales) + (20% of November Credit Sales)

December Credit Sales = $48,000 * 75% = $36,000
November Credit Sales = $38,000 * 75% = $28,500

Total Cash Inflow in January = (25% of $18,000) + (80% of $36,000) + (20% of $28,500)
Total Cash Inflow in January = $4,500 + $28,800 + $5,700
Total Cash Inflow in January = $39,000

Answer to Question 2.

Total Expected Cash Outflow for Inventory in December = Cost of Inventory purchased in December
Cost of Inventory purchased in December = Cost of Inventory to be sold in January
Cost of Inventory purchased in December = (75% of $18,000)
Cost of Inventory purchased in December = $13,500

Total Expected Cash Outflow for Inventory in December = $13,500

Answer to Question 3.

Total Expected cash Outflow for January = Expected Cash Outflow for Inventory + Dividend Payment + Wages Payment + Rent Payment +Other Monthly Expense

Total Expected Cash Outflow for Inventory in January = Cost of Inventory purchased in January
Cost of Inventory purchased in January = Cost of Inventory to be sold in February
Cost of Inventory purchased in January = (75% of $16,000)
Cost of Inventory purchased in January = $12,000

Total Expected Cash Outflow for Inventory in January = $12,000

Total Expected cash Outflow for January = $12,000 + $15,000 + $1,400 + $400 + (1% of $18,000)
Total Expected cash Outflow for January = $12,000 + $15,000 + $1,400 + $400 + $180
Total Expected cash Outflow for January = $28,980

Answer to Question 4.

Accounts Receivable, January 31 = January Credit Sales + (20% of December Credit Sales)

January Credit Sales = $18,000 * 75% = $13,500
December Credit Sales = $48,000 * 75% = $36,000

Accounts Receivable, January 31 = $13,500 + (20% of $36,000)
Accounts Receivable, January 31 = $13,500 + $7,200
Accounts Receivable, January 31 = $20,700
