This is total September sales multiplied by the percentage of September credit sales collected during September plus total August sales multiplied by the percentage of August credit sales collected during September plus total July sales multiplied by the percentage of July credit sales collected during September. This answer neglects two things: (1) Sales made on credit each month are only 70% of the total sales. Therefore, each month's sales should be multiplied by .70 before multiplying it by the percentage of the month's receivables to be collected during September. (2) 30% of each month's sales are cash sales, so 30% of the total sales for September will be received during September. This is not the correct answer. Please see the correct answer for an explanation. We have been unable to determine how to calculate this incorrect answer choice. If you have calculated it, please let us know how you did it so we can create a full explanation of why this answer choice is incorrect. Please send us an email at support@hockinternational.com. Include the full Question ID number and the actual incorrect answer choice -- not its letter, because that can change with every study session created. The Question ID number appears in the upper right corner of the ExamSuccess screen. Thank you in advance for helping us to make the HOCK study materials better. This answer results from going forward in time instead of backwards. 50% of August's credit sales and 25% of July's credit sales will be collected in September; but this answer uses 50% of October's credit sales and 25% of November's credit sales instead. Receipts will be as follows during September: September cash sales - $800,000 × .30 $240,000 Collected from September credit sales - $800,000 × .70 × .20 112,000 Collected from August credit sales - $650,000 × .70 × .50 227,500 Collected from July credit sales - $600,000 × .70 × .25 105,000 Total receipts for September $684,500
