Smith Company started business on September 1. Smith had credit sales of $200,000 in September

and $300,000 in October. The pattern for collection of cash from customers is expected to be 40%

in the month of sale (subject to a 2% cash discount), 50% in the month following the month of sale,

and 7% in the second month following the month of sale, with 3% uncollectible. How much cash

did Smith Company receive from customers on account during October?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Due to 2% discount – collection amount = Amount receivable x (100 - discount percentage)

The following table shows the calculations

Collection of 7% for second month following the sale will have no figure for October as sufficient data is not available (credit sales of August)

Calculations Particulars September October
A Credit Sales        200,000    300,000
B = A x 40% Collectable amount in month of sale          80,000    120,000
C = B x 98% Net collection in month of sale          78,400    117,600
D = A of previous month x 50% Collection in following month                    -      100,000
E = C+D Total cash collection from credit sales          78,400    217,600
