### Question 32
**Pasta Disasta, Inc.** is preparing its master budget for its first quarter of business. It expects to sell 3,000 pizzas at $8 per pizza per month. It expects to collect 95% of the sales in the month of the sale and 5% in the following month. Calculate the amount of cash collections for its first quarter.

### Context and Calculation
Assuming that the total sales for the first three months are accrued and a portion is collected in the following months, we can break down the problem as follows:

1. **Monthly Sales Calculation:**
   - Sales per month: 3,000 pizzas * $8 = $24,000

2. **Cash Collection Schedule:**
   - 95% of $24,000 (collected in the month of sale): $24,000 * 0.95 = $22,800
   - 5% of $24,000 (collected in the following month): $24,000 * 0.05 = $1,200

3. **Cash Collections for Each Month:**
   - **Month 1:**
     - Collections: $22,800 (95% of $24,000 for Month 1)
   - **Month 2:**
     - Collections: $22,800 (95% of $24,000 for Month 2) + $1,200 (5% of $24,000 for Month 1) = $24,000
   - **Month 3:**
     - Collections: $22,800 (95% of $24,000 for Month 3) + $1,200 (5% of $24,000 for Month 2) = $24,000

4. **Total Cash Collections for the First Quarter:**
   - Month 1: $22,800
   - Month 2: $24,000
   - Month 3: $24,000
   - **Total: $22,800 + $24,000 + $24,000 = $70,800**

Thus, the amount of cash collections for the first quarter is $70,800.

### Note
This question requires an understanding of budgeting and cash flow management which are critical skills in financial planning.
