Credit Monitoring
Payment pattern: the normal timing within which a
firms customers pay their accounts
Percentage of monthly sales collected the following
month
Should be constant over time; if payment pattern
changes, the firm should review its credit policies
An example
DJM Manufacturing determined that:
20% of sales collected in the month of sales, 50% in the
next month and 30% two months after the sale.
Can use payment pattern to construct cash receipts from
the cash budget:
If January sales are 400,000, DJM expects to collect
80,000 in January, 200,000 in February, and
29
120,000 in March.
