B) At the end of January, budgeted accounts receivable is ________.

C) For January, budgeted cost of goods sold is ________ .

Explanation / Answer

A) Budgeted cash collection for January = 60% of current month sales = 60% * $200000 = $120000

B) Budgeted ending accounts receivables = Sales + Opening accounts receivable - Cash received

= $200000 + $20000 - $120000 = $100000

C) Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross profit

= $200000 - 30%*$200000 = $140000
