Answer (C) is correct . Collections during January will consist of 40% of December’s collectible credit sales, 60% of January’s collectible credit sales, and cash sales for January. The January collections of December sales are expected to be $136,800 ($360,000 × 40% × 95%). The January collections of January credit sales are expected to be $102,600 ($180,000 × 60% × 95%). Given January cash sales of $60,000, total budgeted cash receipts for January are $299,400 ($136,800 + $102,600 + $60,000).
Answer (A) is incorrect because Total cash and credit sales for January is $240,000. Answer (B) is incorrect because The amount of $294,000 incorrectly assumes that uncollectible sales are 5%, cash collected in the month of sale is 60%, and cash collected in the month following the sale is 35%. Answer (D) is incorrect because The amount of $239,400 does not include cash from January cash sales.
