Total cash collection May = $306,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

April = $250,000

May = $320,000

June = $410,0000

The company expects to sell 50% of its merchandise for cash. Of sales on account, 60% are expected to be collected in the month of the sale, 40% in the month following the sale.

Cash collection May:

Sales on cash May = 320,000*0.5 = 160,000

Sales on Account May = (160,000*0.6) = 96,000

Sales on Account April = (250,000*0.5) * 0.4 = 50,000

Total cash collection May = $306,000
