Sales are made 52% on cash and 48% on credit. Credit sales are collected in the month following sale. The accounts receivable at December 31 are the result of December credit sales, and therefore based on actual data. (For the Accounts Receivable line on the Schedule of Expected Cash Collections, give this some thought: Remember that actual data almost never matches estimates and we should use actual data when it is available. Also think about what months December sales will be collected in, and whether you actually need to calculate December, or if the collections for this month might already be given to you in some way.)
