Respuesta :

Answer: $51,000

Explanation:

Thirty-five percent of the sales on account are collected in the month of sale, 45% in the month following sale, and the remainder are collected in the second month following sale.

In March therefore, the cashflow will consist of;

35% of March sales

45% of February sales

20% of January sales

= (35% * 40,000) + (45% * 60,000) + (20% * 50,000)

= 14,000 + 27,000 + 10,000

= $51,000
