Answer:

Total Cash inflows from sales = $36640

Explanation:

given data

Month Sales

January $25,000

February $30,000

March $35,000

April $40,000

to find out

The total cash receipts during April

solution

first we get here Cash sales of April month that is express as

Cash sales of April month = $40,000 × 30%

Cash sales of April month = $40,000 × 0.30

Cash sales of April month = $12000

and

now we get collection from credit sale of April that is

collection from credit sale = ( $40000× 70% ) × 25%

collection from credit sale = ( $40000× 0.70 ) × 0.25

collection from credit sale = $7000

and

Collection from Credit sales of March that is

Collection from Credit sales = ( $35000× 70% ) × 72%

Collection from Credit sales = ( $35000× 0.70 ) × 0.72

Collection from Credit sales = $17640

so

Total Cash inflows from sales will be

Total Cash inflows from sales = $12000 + $7000 + $17640

Total Cash inflows from sales = $36640
