You obviously have an answer to this in your Revision Kit, so please in future ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about :-) Also, you have copied out the question wrongly - 60% is for invoices paid in the month after sale, and the 2% discount is for customers paying in the month after sale!!! So....in September they will receive 60% of Augusts sales (because they will be paid in the month after sale), but only 98% of the amount. So the amount received is 98% x 60% x 60,000. In addition they will receive 25% of Julys sales (because they are paid in the second month after sale). So the amount is 25% x 40,000. In addition they will receive 12% of Junes sales (because they are paid in the third month after sale). So the amount is 12% x 35,000. Add the three together and you have your answer :-) Have you not watched my free lectures on cash budgets? The lectures are a complete free course and cover everything needed to pass the exam well.
