Based on the information in Table 3, what are Thompson's projected total receipts (collections) for March?
Thompson Manufacturing Supplies' projected sales for the first six months of 2014 are given below.
Jan. $250,000 April $400,000
Feb. $300,000 May $450,000
March $400,000 June $400,000
40% of sales is collected in the month of the sale, 50% is collected in the month following the sale, and 10% is written off as uncollectible. Cost of goods sold is 70% of sales. Purchases are made the month prior to the sale and are paid during the month the purchases are made (i.e. goods sold in March are bought and paid for in February). Total other cash expenses are $50,000/month. The company's cash balance as of February 1, 2014 will be $40,000. Excess cash will be used to retire short-term borrowing (if any). Thompson has no short-term borrowing as of February 28, 2014. Assume that the interest rate on short-term borrowing is 1% per month. The company must have a minimum cash balance of $25,000 at the beginning of each month. Round all answers to the nearest $100.
A) $400,000
B) $310,000
C) ($20,000)
D) $320,000
