Solution :
Solution:
As per the information given in the question we have
Projected Sales of January = $ 13,181
Sales for the further months after January are expected to Increase by 9 % .
Projected sales of February = ( Sales of January * 109 % )
= $ 13,181 * 109 % = $ 14,367.2900
Projected sales of March = ( Sales of February * 109 % )
= $ 14,367.2900 * 109 % = $ 15,660.3461
As per the information given in the question
The total cash collections of a given month = 55 % of sales made in the given month + 45 % of sales made in the month before i.e, the preceding month
Thus the total cash collections made in March = 55 % of sales made in the month of March + 45 % of sales made in Month of February
Hence the total of March cash collections = ( 55 % * $ 15,660.3461 ) + ( 45 % * 14,367.2900 )
= $ 8,613.1904 + $ 6,465.2805 = $ 15,078.4709
The amount of the March cash collections = $ 15,078.4709
