60 percent in the month of sale.

20 percent in the month following sale.

15 percent in the second month following sale.

5 percent uncollectible.

The company gives a 2 percent cash discount for payments made by customers during the month of sale. The accounts receivable balance on April 30 is $24,000, of which $7,000 represents uncollected March sales and $17,000 represents uncollected April sales.
