Warren Company began the accounting period with a $32,000 debit balance in its accounts receivable account. During the accounting period, the company recorded revenue on account amounting to $88,000. The accounts receivable account at the end of the accounting period contained a $16,000 debit balance. Based on this information, what is the amount of cash collected from customers during the period

The answer is : $104,000                  

Explanation:

First, we have to lay out the particulars, and explain what each of them mean:

debit balance in account receivable = $32,000. This refers to an amount that cusomers owed the company at the beginning of the period.

revenue recorded = $88,000. This refers to the total sales made by the company.

At the end of the period, we are told that the account receivable contained a balance of $16,000

Therefore it means that after all the payments (both balance from previous period and sales transactions) have been made in cash, the amount which the customers owed the company = $16,000.

Hence the cash collected is calculated as follows

(debit balance at beginning + revenue) - debit balance at the end = cash collected

(32,000 + 88,000) - 16,000 = cash collected

120,000 - 16,000 = cash collected

cash collected = $104,000
