On October 1, the accounts receivable account balance was $44,700. During October, $388,900 was collected from customers on account. Assuming the October 31 balance was $51,400, determine the fees billed to customers on account during October.

Answer
Payments made to creditors during February = $76,790
Purchase on account during February = $98,290
Closing Balance of Accounts Payable on 28 February= $33,020
Opening Balance of Accounts Payable on 1 February = ?
Opening Balance of Accounts Payable on 1 February + Purchases made on account during February - Payments made to creditors during February = Closing Balance of Accounts Payable on 28 February
So,
Opening Balance of Accounts Payable on 1 February = Closing Balance of Accounts Payable on 28 February + Payments made to creditors during February - Purchases made on account during February
= $33,020 + $76,790 - $98,290
= $11,520
Balance of Accounts Payable on 1 February is $11,520
Opening Balance of Accounts Receivable on 1st October = $44,700
Amount collected from customers on account during October = $388,900
Closing Balance of Accounts Receivable on 31 October = $51,400
Fees billed to customer on account during October = ?
Opening Balance of Accounts Receivable on 1 October - Amount collected from customers on account during October + Fees billed to customers on account during October = Closing Balance of Accounts Receivable on 31 October
So,
Fees billed to customers on account during October = Closing Balance of Accounts Receivable on 31 October - Opening Balance of Accounts Receivable on 1 October + Amounts collected from customers on account during October
= $51,400 - $44,700 + $388,900
= $395,600
Fees billed to customers on account during October is $395,600
Opening Balance of Cash Account on 1 April = $12,970
Cash receipts during April = $197,140
Closing Balance of Cash Account on 30 April = $9,340
Cash payments made during April = ?
Opening Balance of Cash Account on 1 April + Cash receipts during April - Cash payment made during April = Closing Balance of Cash Account on 30 April
So,
Cash Payment made during April = Opening Balance of Cash Account on 1 April + Cash receipts during April - Closing Balance of Cash Account on 30 April
= $12,970 + $197,140 - $9,340
= $200,770
Cash payments made during April are $200,770
