Big Wheel, Inc., collects 25% of its sales on account in the month of the sale and 75% in the month following the sale. Sales on account are budgeted to be $150,000 for March and receipts from sales on account total $162,500 in April. What are the budgeted sales on account for April?

Budgeted Sales on account is $200,000

Explanation:

First we will apportion the receipt of march based on their cash receipt

March

Total Sales = $150,000

Cash received in March = $150,000 x 25% = $37,500

Cash received in April = $150,000 x 75% = $112,500

March

Total Cash receipt = $162,500

Cash Receipt includes the receipts against March sales and April sales.

Receipts of April Sales = Total receipts - Receipts against March Sale

Receipts of April Sales = $162,500 - $112,500 = $50,000

As 25% cash will be received for current month sales. So, $50,000 represents the 25% of the April sale.

Total Sales = $50,000 / 25% = $200,000
