(b) Kiddy Company had credit sales of RM1,000,000, RM1,500,000 and RM800,000 in October,
November and December 2021, respectively. The company's credit sales projections for January
through March of 2022 are as follows:
January – RM3,000,000
February – RM2,400,000
March – RM2,000,000
Kiddy Company has normally collected 60% of its credit sales in the month following the sale, 30%
in the second following month and 10% in the third month. Assuming this collection pattern
continues, prepare a schedule of cash receipts from receivables collection for the period January
through March of 2022 (for the month of January, February and March).
