Midwest Products is a wholesale distributor of leaf rakes

Midwest Products is a wholesale distributor of leaf rakes. Thus, peak sales occur in August of each year as shown in the company’s sales budget for the third quarter, given below:





July

August

September

Total

Budgeted sales (all on account)

$ 600,000

$ 900,000

$ 500,000

$ 2,000,000



From past experience, the company has learned that 20% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, another 70% are collected in the month following sale, and the remaining 10% are collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts are negligible and can be ignored. May sales totaled $430,000, and June sales totaled $540,000.



Required:

1.

Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections from sales, by month and in total, for the third quarter. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter \"0\" wherever required. Omit the \"$\" sign in your response.)

2.

Assume that the company will prepare a budgeted balance sheet as of September 30. Compute the accounts receivable as of that date. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Omit the \"$\" sign in your response.)
