Answer:

b. are $220.

Explanation:

Given that firm makes 20 percent of sales for cash and collects the balance one month following the sale. It means that cash collected in July will consist of 20% of the sales in the month of July and 80% of the sales in the previous month of June.

As such, if projected sales in May, June, and July of $100, $200, and $300, respectively, the firm's total cash receipts in July

= (20% × $300) + (80% × $200)

= $60 + $160

= $220

Answer:

B) are $220.

Explanation:

Month      total sales     20% cash    balance collection         total

May              $100            $20                    $0                          $20

June             $200           $40                  $80                          $120

July              $300            $60                 $160                         $220

The firm will collect 20% of its July sales = $60, and 80% of its June sales = $160, for a total of $220
