• 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 $22,000, of which $7,000 represents uncollected March sales and $15,000 represents uncollected April sales. Prepare a schedule of budgeted cash collections from sales for May, June, and July. Include a three-month summary of estimated cash collections.
