Incremental cash flow = $1,369.863~ $1,370

Explanation:

In accrual accounting, accounts receivable gives a measure of revenue that a business has earned.

Given the annual revenue as $25,000. To get the daily revenue

Daily revenue = Annual revenue / 365

Daily revenue = 25,000/365

Daily revenue = $68.493

Customers are expected to pay within 20 days, so for every 20 days

Incremental cash flow = 20 days * 68.493

Incremental cash flow = $1,369.863~ $1,370
