Month incurred Amount June July August

June 75,000 37500 18,750 18,750

July 95,000 47,500 23,750

August 95,000 47,500

37,500 66,250 90,000

The expected cash receipts are:

June = $37,500

July = $66,250

August = $90,000

Explanation:

The pattern of collection of sales is that 50% are collected in the months of sales while 25% each will be collected in the following month and following 2 months. For instance, 50% of June sales are collected in June, 25% are realized in July and 25% are collected in August. 50% of July sales are realized in July and 25% are collected in August.
