Pangli Co ( Mar/ June 2017)

Dear sir, I have a doubt with this question. In the question it is mentioned that All sales are on credit and they are expected to be $3·5m for 20X6. Monthly sales are as follows: November 20X6 (actual) $270,875 December 20X6 (forecast) $300,000 January 20X7 (forecast) $350,000 Pangli Co has a gross profit margin of 40%. Although Pangli Co offers 30 days credit, only 60% of customers pay in the month following purchase, while the remaining customers take an additional month of credit. Yet when the receivables for Jan 20X7 are calculated, the receivable of $350,000 are included. Why is that so? Thanks!

Sales made on credit during January are owing at the end of January and are therefore part of receivables at the end of January.
