    Credit sales:

    May (actual) $ 40,000
    June (actual) $ 30,000
    July (estimated) $ 25,000

    recent debt collection experience:

    – current month’s sales 20%
    – Prior month’s sales 60%
    – Sales two months prior 10%
    – Cash discounts taken 5%
    – Irrecoverable debts 5%

    Q> why do we not take out the irrecoverable debt of 5%? Isn’t this what cannot be considered to be received from the credit customer?

    Also do we not take out the cash discount as this would be a cash discount not a trade receivable discount?

    Thank you very much as always!

    There is no need to take out the discounts and irrecoverable debts separately because by taking the 20%, 60%, and 10% (a total of 90%) you are already excluding the 10% total of discounts and irrecoverable debts.
