Explanation / Answer

CREDIT SALES:

Cash Collection For May = ( 241000 - 72300) * 1/2 = $ 84350

Accounts Recievable = ( 241000 - 72300) * 1/2 = $ 84350

CREDIT PURCHASES:

Cash Paid = $ 191000 * 40% = $ 76400

Accounts Payable = $ 191000 * 60% = $ 114600

BUILDING & EQUIPMENT MONTH END BALANCE = 249000 + 6600 -5300 =$ 250300

RETAINED EARNINGS MONTH END BALANCE = 95250 + 22330 = $ 117580
