To prepare a cash budget, the company must determine the budgeted cash collections from sales. Historically, the following trend has been established regarding cash collection of sales:
60 percent in the month of sale.
20 percent in the month following sale.
15 percent in the second month following sale.
5 percent uncollectible.
The company gives a 1 percent cash discount for payments made by customers during the month of sale. The accounts receivable balance on April 30 is $29,000, of which $8,000 represents uncollected March sales and $21,000 represents uncollected April sales. Prepare a schedule of budgeted cash collections from sales for May, June, and July. Include a three-month summary of estimated cash collections.
