Cash sales	60,000 x 60% = 36,000	72,000 x 60% = 43,200	90,000 x 60% = 54,000
Collection from credit sale of March	20,000	0	0
Collection from credit sale of April	0	24,000	0
Collection from credit sale of May	0	0	28,800
Total cash collections	$56,000	$67,200	$82,800

Credit sale of March = 50,000 x 40%

Credit sale of April = 60,000 x 40%
