Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The decrease in accounts receivable indicates that more cash was collected than the sales revenue reported. Therefore, cash collected = Sales revenue + Decrease in accounts receivable = $250,000 + $20,000 = $270,000. The change in accounts payable does not affect cash collected from customers.
