1. Schedule of Cash Collections of Accounts Receivable

   OfficeMart Inc. has "cash and carry" customers and credit customers. OfficeMart estimates that 20% of monthly sales are to cash customers, while the remaining sales are to credit customers. Of the credit customers, 20% pay their accounts in the month of sale, while the remaining 80% pay their accounts in the month following the month of sale. Projected sales for the next three months are as follows:

   October	$117,000
   November	146,000
   December	214,000

   The Accounts Receivable balance on September 30 was $78,000.
