Schedule of Expected Cash Collections

	April	May	June	Total
February sales	$33,000 ($330,000*10%)			$33,000
March sales	$216,000 ($360,000*60%)	$36,000 ($360,000*10%)		$252,000
April sales	$120,000 ($400,000*30%)	$240,000 ($400,000*60%)	$40,000 ($400,000*10%)	$400,000
May sales		$180,000 ($600,000*30%)	$360,000 ($600,000*60%)	$540,000
June sales			$57,000 ($190,000*30%)	$57,000
Total cash collections	$369,000	$456,000	$457,000	$1,282,000

Required 2

Total accounts receivable at June 30 = 70% of June sales + 10% of May sales

= ($190,000 * 70%) + ($600,000 * 10%)

= $133,000 + $60,000

= $193,000
