    ACCA · Question 21 · Budgeting

    Section A

    TimberExport Ltd is preparing its cash budget. Budgeted sales are:

    • January: $100,000
    • February: $120,000
    • March: $150,000

    Sales are 20% cash and 80% credit.
    Credit sales are collected as follows:

    • 50% in the month following the sale
    • 28% in the second month following the sale
    • 2% are bad debts

    Calculate the total cash receipts budgeted for the month of March.

    How to approach this question

    .

    Full Answer

    The collection pattern accounts for 100% of total sales (20% cash + 50% 1 month later + 28% 2 months later + 2% bad debt). Receipts in March: - Cash sales in March: 20% × $150,000 = $30,000 - Credit collected from February (1 month prior): 50% × $120,000 = $60,000 - Credit collected from January (2 months prior): 28% × $100,000 = $28,000 Total March receipts = $30,000 + $60,000 + $28,000 = $118,000.

    Common mistakes

    Applying the 50% and 28% to the 80% credit portion instead of the total sales figure (which would leave a gap in the 100% total).
