Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash collection = 20% of a month's sales in the month of sale

Account sales = 70% in the month following sale, and 6% in the second month following sale.

The remainder is uncollectible.

We weren't provided with information regarding sales. I can invent some numbers to show how it's done.

Sales:

February = 200,000

March = 188,000

April = 213,000

Cash collection:

Sales in cash April = (213,000*0.2) = 42,600

Sales on Account March = (188,000*0.7) = 131,600

Sales on Account February = (200,000*0.06) = 12,000

Total cash April = $186,200
