Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is $583 million.

Explanation:

The two variables that is of interest to us in this question are net sales which is the same thing as net revenue and increase in receivables. These two are need to calculate the cash Globo-Chem Co. collected last year from her customers.

Cash collected from customers = net sales (revenue) minus increase in accounts receivable.

Net sales(revenue) = $600 million

Increase in revenue = $17 million

Therefore, cash collected from customers is $600 million - $17 million

=$583,000
