    Hi John,
    Need help with this question.
    QUESTION
    JP Co has budgeted that sales will be $300,100 in January 20X2, $501,500 in February, $150,000 in March
    and $320,500 in April. Half of sales will be credit sales. 80% of receivables are expected to pay in the month
    after sale, 15% in the second month after sale, while the remaining 5% are expected to be bad debts.
    Receivables who pay in the month after sale can claim a 4% early settlement discount.
    What level of sales receipts should be shown in the cash budget for March 20X2 (to the nearest $)?

    ANSWER
    $290,084
    Receipts for March:
    $
    50% March sales for cash (50% × $150,000) 75,000
    80% × February credit sales less 4% discount (50% × 80% × $501,500 × 96%) 192,576
    15% × January credit sales (50% × 15% × $300,100) 22,508
    290,084
    Why is the book solution not including cash sales of Jan and Feb but including March cash sales?
    My solution

    Jan Feb Mar
    Sales 300100 501500 150000
    Cash sales 150050 250750 75000
    Receipts from credit sales month after sale 115238.4 192576
    Receipts from credit sales 2 months after sale 22507.5
    Total 150050 365988.4 290083.5
    Grand total 806121.9

    Cash sales will pay us in the month in which the sale was made – they pay cash immediately.

    So the cash received from cash sales in Jan and Feb will have been received in Jan and Feb and therefore are not relevant for March. The only cash received from cash sales in March will be 50% of the sales in March.
