How do you find the acccounts receivable, in a cah budget.

To find the accounts receivable for a cash budget, you will need the following information:

1. Sales data: Obtain information about the sales you have made during the budget period. This could include the total sales amount and the terms of the sale (e.g., credit sales that are not immediately paid for in cash).

2. Credit sales percentage: Determine the percentage of your total sales that are made on credit. This percentage will help you calculate the accounts receivable.

3. Credit terms: Determine the credit terms you offer to customers, such as the payment period (e.g., 30 days) after which the payment is due.

Once you have this information, you can calculate the accounts receivable by following these steps:

1. Calculate credit sales: Multiply the total sales by the credit sales percentage to get the amount of sales that are made on credit.

2. Determine the average collection period: Divide the credit terms (in days) by the number of days in a month to determine the average collection period. For example, if your credit terms are 30 days, and there are 30 days in a month, the average collection period would be 1 month.

3. Calculate accounts receivable: Multiply the credit sales by the average collection period to calculate the accounts receivable. This represents the amount of money that is expected to be collected from customers during the budget period.

It is important to regularly monitor and update your accounts receivable in your cash budget to ensure accuracy and reflect any changes in sales and payment patterns.
