Cash Budgeting
The sales budget for your company in the coming year is based on a
quarterly growth rate of 10 percent, with the first-quarter sales
projection at $165 million. In addition to this basic trend, the
seasonal adjustments for the four quarters are, in millions, 0,
-$12, –$6, and $18, respectively. Generally, 50 percent of the
sales can be collected within the quarter and 45 percent in the
following quarter; the rest of the sales are bad debt. The bad
debts are written off in the second quarter after the sales are
made. The beginning accounts receivable balance is $84 million.
Assuming all sales are on credit, compute the cash collections from
sales for each quarter.
Don't round off until you get to the end.
AS NOTHING WAS MENTIONED, ANSWERS ARE IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. ANY CHANGE NEEDED, LET ME KNOW.
