Midwest Products is a wholesale distributor of leaf rakes. Thus, peak sales occur in August of each year as shown in the company’s sales budget for the third quarter, given below:

Total
  Budgeted sales (all on account)
$ 600,000    
$ 900,000    
$ 500,000

From past experience, the company has learned that 20% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, another 70% are collected in the month following sale, and the remaining 10% are collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts are negligible and can be ignored. May sales totaled $430,000, and June sales totaled $540,000.
