Expert Solution

This is the answer to part a where the percentage is calculated for different month of sales. Formula used to calculate is also given alongside

The average collection period is 7.75 days which is much less than the period in which the company is expecting to receive its payments.

The above picture contains answers to part c,d explaining the stance of the company in both the situations. For part c company should be satisfied because its average collection period is very less however if we ignore the average collection period then the company needs to think its collection schedule as major chunk(60%) of it balances are received after 30 days.
