Answer
The Debtors' Collection Schedule for July 2022 can be calculated based on the credit sales and the repayment trends outlined. The total sales for July are R1 015 000. Thus, the credit sales for June, which will be collected in July, amount to 45% of R997 500:
June Collections:
10% of R1 015 000 = R609 000 (current month)
40% of R997 500 = R398 200 (prior month with discount)
12% of R567 500 = R68 100 (2 months prior)
The total receipts for July 2022 will be the sum of these collections. After applying respective discounts, the final figure for collections amounts to R555 345.

Formula: 3% of Credit Sales not collected = 3% of R567 500
Calculation: R17 010
(iii) Salaries and wages in July:
Salaries will remain similar as per previous months and assume full payment.
Calculation: R187 000
(iv) Discount allowed in June 2022:
