Question

1 Approved Answer

- Column A: the customer ID - Column B: the total sale on account and invoiced during the year - Column C: the account receivable

- Column A: the customer ID

- Column B: the total sale on account and invoiced during the year

- Column C: the account receivable balance outstanding at year-end

- Column D: the date when the invoice was issued

- Column E: the date when the invoice balance was paid off in the following year

Assume that if the receivable was not paid over the course of the following year, the entire amount would be written off. In that case, the corresponding cell in column E remains blank.

Assume four categories of aging receivables: (1) 0-30 days outstanding, (2) 31-60 days outstanding, (3) 61-90 days outstanding, and (4) above 90 days outstanding.

Calculate the percentage of account receivables written off out of total credit sales.

Calculate the percentage of account receivables written off in each category of outstanding receivable age (think about which dates are relevant when assigning the categories of aging receivables).

Collect the data for year 2013 (total outstanding receivables, percentage of receivables written off relative to credit sales, and the percentage of receivables written off in each aging category of outstanding receivables), and fill in the table in the Solution worksheet.
