Account receivable on July 31 = $261,800

Explanation:

We would not be making use of the information for June as the question says 60% is collected in the month of sale and 40% is collected in the following month. Therefore as at July 31, all of june sales would have been collected and won't be outstanding

July credit sales = 85% * $770,000 = $654,500

Collected in July (60%) = 60% * $654,500 = $392,700

Receivable as at 31 July = $654,500 - $392,700 = $261,800
