Schedule of Account Receivable  
Description Amount
Accounts Receivables, December 31, 2019 80,000
Sales for the Current Year 450,000
Total Balance 530,000
Less: Collection on Account Receivable in 2020 430,000
Balance at the end of current year 100,000

 

Workings:

Cost of Goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Merchandise inventory on 31st December 2020
 = 460,000 - 100,000 

Cost of Goods sold = P 360,000

 

As gross profit on Sale is 20%. Hence, Value of Cost of goods sold is 80% of sale.
Total Sales = Cost of Goods Sold * 100/80
 = 360,000 * 100/80

Total Sales = P450,000
