FMRE: MCQ Help needed

Vvipulv11y ago
Hi Sir, Could you explain to me: Forcast sales in Jan of $200,000 will increase 5% each month, sales are on credit. 60% of customers pay after 1 month and rest pay after 2 months. What cash receipt from customers will be budgeted in May?

227115 is the answer I guessed correctly, but want to know how ?

The cash receipt in May will be 60% of April's sales, plus 40% of March's sales. April sales are 200,000 with 3 months increase, so 200,000 x (1.05)^3 = 231525 March sales are 200,000 with 2 months increase, so 200,000 x (1.05)^2 = 220500 So cash receipts is (60% x 231525) + (40% x 220500) = 227115.
