The Model Company is considering charging 1 1/2% on any balance that is not collected in the month following the month of sale. This charge would also change the collection percentages to 15% cash sales, 80% of the balance collected in the month following the sale, 16% the second month, and 3% the third month. This stricter credit policy will reduce the estimated sales budgets by 7% each month. Under this stricter credit policy, what is the amount of cash to be collected in July? Round all calculations to the nearest whole dollar.
