$          6,560

$             6,160

$           5,160

Explanation:

Cash collection period = 60 days

Quarterly cash collection = Balance of previous quarter + (90 – 60)/90 portion of current quarter sales

                                         = Quarterly outstanding + 1/3 of current quarter sales

Ending Receivables = 2/3 of current quarter sales

For Quarter 1:

Cash Collections = $ 3,840 + ($ 8,040 x 1/3) = $ 3,840 + $ 2,680 = $ 6,520

Ending Receivables = 8,040 x 2/3 = $ 5,360

For Quarter 2:

Cash Collections = $ 5,360 + ($ 9,840 x 1/3) = $ 5,360 + $ 3,280 = $ 8,640

Ending Receivables = $ 9,840 x 2/3 = $ 6,560

For Quarter 3:

Cash Collections = $ 6,560 + ($ 9,240 x 1/3) = $ 6,560 + $ 3,080 = $ 9,640

Ending Receivables = $ 9,240 x 2/3 = $ 6,160

For Quarter 4:

Cash Collections = $ 6,160 + ($ 7,740 x 1/3) = $ 6,160 + $ 2,580 = $ 8,740

Ending Receivables = $ 7,740 x 2/3 = $ 5,160
